foa anyone who has a child iat school (bit ot)
hi. i just wanted to know what ypou put in their packed lunchbox?
ive just had a barney with my daughters school as i feel i am old enough and wise enough to pack a balanced meal as they seem to think i am unable to (i gave her 6 malteasers with a salad sandwhich,yogurt and 2 pieces of fruit and water to drink)
what really upset me is the fact that they gave her a very colourful ice lolly probably packed with sugar and e numbers but didnt ask me!
is this double standards or what?! what a fuss over 6 malteasers- which has less chocolate than a penguin bar!!
i got told its because you can buy them "over the counter" i replied io sent her with malteasers not mophine!!!
am i wrong to be annoyed?

playing devils advocate i think they probably put on these sanctions as although you provide a healthy lunch there are others that would send them in with all the crap of the day to eat and if they let one have choclate others may complain and those with crap parents may only be getting a decent lunch because of the schools rules on lunches?
i know what you mean about if they let me send her with it then there will always be someone who took advantage and sent loads of crap in but i wont even allow her crisps which are worse than a small bit of chocolate but they are still allow these?! i think its madness we didnt have this when we were children and have grown up and reached adult hood without problems.
thanks again for the replies x
