They think it "humiliates" them that they have to be singled out by eating something different then the paying kids. This PC bullcrap is annoying as hell IMO. Life is hard and the sooner the kids figure it out the better. Kids today are such wimps![]()
the kids are probably cool with it,, it mama that's crying and all they gotta do is send the money, sign the paperwork,, or,, pack a lunch.
I remember my mama used to fill a thermos with hot soup and tie a hot dog on a string and stick it in the hot soup and pack a bun,, I loved it.. I was lucky I had a stay at home mom,
You were lucky. My mom used leave early for work and I had to fend for myself. I ate PB & J almost every day and whatever chips or cookies we had in the house,and packed it myself (imagine that..it can be done,even when you are 6 or 7). They didn't have freebie lunches back then. You either paid for it that day,brought it with you, or you went hungry...period.
Kids need to learn how to suck it up and fend for themself if their parents are lazy. If all you get is a cheese sandwich..then learn to deal instead of whine. There is no reason for parents not to fill out those free lunch forms anyway...they give them to you the same day you register the kids for school for crap sake!
Here, Virginia, the state sends the form out a month before school starts ( to those already registerd at school) so one can fill it out and send it in well before school starts and the kids are covered in case they need it the day school starts.
