I pack my sons lunch every day and he is 15. He told me the other day that some kids ask him every day what he has for lunch because I never send the same food twice in a row. It makes me so happy to know my son will look back and appreciate the little things I do for him daily.

And this is why we have so many young incapable men .. They need to learn it and make it by themselves, because with these simple things they learn how to respect what they have.

[@luckbell1207]

​@maybe-maybe.not. not really it'd mostly because parents don't teach their kids basic things not because they make them lunch if your their parent and you want to do this for your kid then do they'll appreciate it as long as you still teach them how to do things on their own it's alright don't get your panties in a twist just cuz a mom wants to make lunch for a child cause that's literally still her child and their age isn't gonna make her want to stop feeding them

[@maybe-maybe.not.]

@@luckbell1207 He's 15, seriously? As a woman I cooked lunches for the whole family at that age and you're telling me it's ok for mom to serve him like he's a little boy? Is a sandwich, he can make by himself.. Serve him till he gets married so he can search for a woman who can replace his momma 🫣 Basic stuff is making sandwiches by yourself just so you know, not expecting someone else to make it for you, tray starting whit that you'll see the difference in behavior.

[@luckbell1207]

@maybe-maybe.not. you can know how to do basic stuff while your parents still cooking for you. My parents cook for my brother and he still knows how to clean properly and make a good meal so just because SOME people are incompetent doesn't mean everyone is. This mom is doing it clearly because she wants to not because he expects him to. Doing something nice for your partner or kid by making them a lunch isn't gonna suddenly make them useless and incompetent I swear theres always some little btch who's complaining about parents or spouses doing something for their partner or kid and it's just embarrassing cause why are you mad that someone's PARTNER or PARENT is cooking for them? Parents still do this things you know I've seen many parents who bring their child left overs or extras as a kind gesture when their child is capable of cooking. Some people's love language is cooking so their happy to give food stop getting angry over someone's kid getting some food when you have know idea what their capable of doing on their own so kindly shut the fkk up and go do something with your time instead of getting angry over someone making lunch for their child. Hope this helps and if it didn't then I don't really give a fck so don't respond!!

[@luckbell1207]

@maybe-maybe.not. Just cause your parents don't want to make you lunch for time to time as a sweet gesture doesn't mean others can't. You're talking like those people who get mad at others for their parents taking care of them, and that's just embarrassing. Her making her son a sandwich and food for lunch so he can spend his money on other things won't hurt him for all WE know he can be a fully capable man who knows how to take cares of himself. Maybe you've surrounded yourself around bad and lazy man or your siblings if you any are lazy like that, but not everyone is like that. My parents cook for my brother and he still knows how to properly clean and cook for himself surrond your self around useful and hardworking men who won't use you as a maid instead of projecting on a TEENAGER who's mother makes him lunch I can't imagine being that angry and pressed over a mother showing love to her son in a way thats not putting her other child or others down. Someone making food for you won't magically make you lazy and incapable of doing basic tasks don't assume that someone's incompetent because someone who loves and cares about them decides to do a nice thing for them ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Since my last reply was deleted I think I don't know

exactly! it’s obviously important that your teens understand being responsible & are learning how being an adult works but there’s nothing wrong with “babying” them or helping them out with some things as long as they don’t feel entitled to you doing everything for them. a good kid who is capable of doing things on their own can have their lunches packed for them & it won’t make them spoiled! it’s the same with those videos where wives pack their husbands. as long as they don’t demand it or expect it or are too lazy to do it on their own, there’s nothing wrong with a partner showing their love for their partner in that way as long as they don’t take advantage of their kindness or act entitled!

So my first meal of the day was like, whatever possible leftovers were in the fridge at 3 pm, and I don't know why I was so surprised that I was always cold and tired during the day. And I knew kids who didn't eat either due to stress, disorganization, or actual disorder.

I had to pack my own lunch since 1st grade (7) at the time, I often forgot to take the bag with me because I was in a rush, ended up being pitied by friends and they would share their lunch that their mothers packed. Up until high school finished, never had lunch again really. Had to leave 6:30am sharp, had homework till 10pm, while cleaning, doing chores, preparing dinner for the night as well, and trying to get a nap from not being able to sleep much. I had to endure school days, starving, not even having time for breakfast. When I have kids, I don't want them to burden themselves too much with it, having busy schedules, being work tied. Of course I'd love to help them learn to make their own lunches for the future so when they go to college they can care for themselves as well as when they have their own children one day..

I’m glad my mom wasn’t like this because I learned how to make and pack my own healthy lunches. My parents bought the food/ingredients, but left it up to me to put the lunch together. Teaching SKILLS is a way better parenting move than DOING everything for the soon-to-be adult. For all those women with partners who seem to not know how to cook, make a lunch, or do laundry - Do your child’s future spouse a favor and stop DOING EVERYTHING for them!

My parents stopped making me lunch when I was about 11 to make me more independent, all that happened was I stopped eating lunch. You're doing great and I'm sure he loves these lovely lunches

[@Pokiebrat]

My daughter does the same thing at her dad's and sometimes even with me. If I mention making something she will say no to whatever I'm making. Now I will just make something without telling her what I'm making and she will eat it if she sees it.

[@ImNoTourist]

I have a friend who's mom did this for him too. She would take extra special care to make sure he had his lunch made and it was really nice of her. Id didnt stop there. My friend and his younger brother are now 39 and 35, both still live at home, they dont have jobs and dont bother doing anything since mommy does it all for them. She has to wake up at 4am so that she can do their washing... by hand... because they cant afford a washing machine, and then she has to ring the clothes and towels out, and hang them on the line, then go to work at the local fishing tackle shop. Then she has to come home and cook dinner and then clean the house and then wash the dishes after they are done eating and it starts all over again. She is 73 and she technically retired 10 years ago but had to come out of retirement cos she couldn't afford to take care of the boys. She has told me she knows it was her fault since she ran around doing everything for them but she just loves them so much. Learn from this people. Dont run around after your kids. Tell them once and if they dont do it, they are on their own. Let them do things for themselves.

Can’t believe someone would complain about the food that mom prepares to take to school! Growing up my mom would always get up with us in the morning to prepare a warm breakfast for my sister and me. We wouldn’t bring lunch to school cause we had a cafeteria. After school, Mom was always making us hot lunch that included soup and a second course. I am 38 now but I still, remember how caring Mom was and still is, and am so thankful for her doing that ❤❤❤
