Lol, ME taking from someone else? Please explain.

I hate shopping for stuff to put in my child's lunchbox, but even more, I hate cleaning it up and throwing the food I put in there away. He wants to eat the school lunch, but I don't want to waste $3 a day on the crap they serve at the schools either.

I pack the stuff he asks for, but he still won't eat it. I'd feel better about him throwing it away if I wasn't spending time, money and energy packing it myself. I know the free lunches end up in the trash, but if I'm not paying for it, it won't matter to me as much. Anyone ever fill out that form they mail out and have it get rejected? I obviously will fill it out with honest answers, but I know we don't meet the income requirements they list on the form.

WTH are you talking about? Your kids needs to eat, figure out a way. And seriously $15/week? If my kid would eat it and it was any good for him, I'd pay that in a heartbeat.

Also, get the kid involved. My 6 YO empties what's left if his lunch as one of his jobs.
