[quote=Anonymous]I am you DH.  Well, not literally, I mean, I'm not married to you, I'm a woman, etc etc, but anyway.  Yes, that is me.

And yet I do acquiesce to the same-thing-every-day-for-lunch thing.  I don't buy crap -- it's healthy stuff.  But it's pretty much the ONLY healthy thing she'll eat.  So I pack it.

In our case it's hambuger/hot dog bun with cream cheese and roasted turkey breast sandwich.  She might also eat breakfast cereal (I just pack the milk in the thermos) and maybe also oatmeal.  Those are the ONLY THREE OPTIONS she'll eat! It's almost ALWAYS turkey breast sandwich with cream cheese.

I play around with the sides for my own amusement. I pack any two: yogurt, fruit slices, pickle, veggie chips, pop corn, hummous+wheat thins, and add a Luna bar for the days she's got after school activities.

After I got into the habit of packing the same old same old, I don't let it bother me too much that my girl is eating monotonously at lunch.  For us, we just need to get food in her.[/quote]
