[quote=Anonymous]It’s fine to pack your teen’s lunch- at any age. This isn’t some “life skill” that needs to be practiced and honed. It’s simply an act of parental love that allows your child more sleep in the morning. I pack my spouse’s lunch too- not because he is incapable, but because I can and have the time to do it. It is simply doing something nice and helpful for someone. That said, if your son isn’t eating it- that is a separate issue. There is no point in packing it, just for him to eat out. In this case, it is totally appropriate to tell him since his lunch preferences are inconsistent, he needs to take over the arrangements of his lunches (whether that is packing or buying). If the going out to lunch thing is spontaneous, then the best solution seems to be to bring money to buy at school since he doesn’t know ahead of time if he is going out or not [/quote]
