[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you monitor what your kid puts in his lunch? I've seen kids pack some crazy stuff in their lunches before.

Even if I packed nothing but junk, my kid still won't eat it. Doesn't matter what I pack, he's not going to eat it. I hate the waste. Waste of food, waste of time, waste of money. My dh didn't fill the form out, so I guess I have to suck it up and keep doing what I've been doing all along.

I have been looking at some websites for lunchbox ideas, so maybe he will eat this year, but I doubt it.

What does your son eat for lunch when he is not in school?  I pack the same things I would feed him at home.  When he doesn't finish his food I know it is b/c he was busy chatting rather than eating.  [/quote]

I serve him hot lunches at home usually. But I let him choose stuff at the store that he'd want in his lunch box. I think he does more talking in the cafeteria which means he's too busy to eat. I even brought him lunch from subway or whatever before and he didn't eat much. It's just such a long day to be at school and not eat anything. Thank God he started eating breakfast. He didn't used to until last school year.[/quote]

Why can't he have those same hot lunches at school?  I bought a small wide-mouth thermos so he can take the same hot foods he took in pre-K (in Pre-K they would microwave it for him).  We plan to pack chicken and rice, homemade chicken nuggets and the occassional grilled cheese.

That said it seems your problem is the one I fear for my slow eater.  I am convinced he won't eat between breakfast and afternoon snack b/c he will be too busy yapping with his friends.  Good luck.
