i have no problem posting this...i will tell you what i learned, because i know i can be the bigger person. Grant it Azzy, maybe i shouldn't have jumped on you as quick as i did being new around here and all. However, i did not go bashing a lot of people, i had only got into with you and you alone. The way i was bashed today by most, was very uncalled for and the most immature thing i have ever seen in my life. I don't go name calling, and saying i'm going to call social services or what not..that was just absurd. Yes, grant it, today i did do a bit of name calling.
Being told in so many words that i was a bad mother for a simple and human mistake was just childish. Many acted as though they were 100% perfect and never did no wrong. That is what i found to be so rediculous and so hypocritical of most. The name calling, as such, idiot, #######, dumbass, and many others was childish.
Now, you tell me what you what have done? i expected to get dumped on eventually on here, though i do think it is rediculous considering we are all supposed to be adults.
I may not be a single mother, but i work my ass off, and i am a damn good mother to my children...you all acted as though i forgot my child in a carseat and went in the mall...come on!! this whole thing escalated into one big "MOM-bashing" fit....are you all that proud of yourself for it now? have any of you sat back and think about if it were your child or what not? Would you have appreciated absolutely everything you all said to me,be said to you..you as parents! Would you really like it?!! Honestly, no, i don't think any of you would have. It's one thing to state your opinion and leave it alone without the name calling and bashing, it's another when you are just down right absurd.
I'm no angel, i have had my share of maybe making unfair statements or what not, but i would NEVER go as low as many of you did.
That being said...I hope you all had fun, and I hope None of you ever get the sh!t I did today...By no means though has this made me want to leave these forums, i will continue to be here whether any of you like it or not, i refuse to let this make me run, as i am sure some of you were aiming to do.
I hope to get to know some of you better if you choose to get to me. I am a very good person, but you wouldn't know that because you all were too busy bashing the hell out of me instead.

Ten years ago I managed to "forget" to "make sure" that my 8 year old had her lunch money with her. I got a phone call at work from the principal. He told me that he was sending a form home with her for reduced/free lunch. I told him that I didn't need that, it was simply an oversight, and it was my fault. They fed her that day, I reimbursed them, and from that day forward, she took a packed lunch.
My little one has always taken packed lunches. He is at the age that he makes his own. If he chooses not to, then he won't eat. Plain and simple. I provide the fixings, he packs it, and he is learning to appreciate what he has available to him (at the moment)
What are these "kids" going to do when they are adults if they are not taught to take responsibility?
I don't think that giving them money to manage is the way. If they want to eat, and they have the basics, they need to be able to take care of themselves.
School lunches are crap (look at the menus) If a "brown bag lunch" is too hard for a parent to shop for, then maybe you shouldn't have children.
I haven't seen any starving children lately. Most are overweight and only eat and play on their x-boxes or computers, while their parents b!tch and complain that their little angels are not being taken care of.
It starts at home.
Complaining to the school board about an oversight on the part of the parent is wrong. That is something that the parent needs to take up with the particular school. Brown bagging it once a child reaches a certain age takes care of it all.
Mel? Your child is at the age where he needs responsibility, and consequences.

i agree with 100% and there have been many times where he should have made his own lunch, everything is available for him, and if he forgets, yes, he is wrong for that, but i do not think a child should be denied a lunch regardless, . i was just simply stating my opinion on it. i'm only complaining about the fact that they should be fead, i don't care if they don't have money that day, i don't care if they ran out time to make their lunch, or neglected to make their lunch, but i don't think a child not eating all day is the most healthy way to go either.
students are being preched to everyday in school how important nutrition is, well, if that is the case, why deny them a meal? i don't care who is at fault whether it be no lunch money or bagged lunch...the schools should practice what they preach..

That's a good point. What if children start to (plan to) spend lunch money on something OTHER than lunch then insist that they don't have it because the parents "aint give me none". That could become a problem and you can not discriminate between children unless their parents confirm it as truth or lie. I think they should feed the child and bill the parent and if by the end of the school year the account is not satisfied hold their report card and grades.

The research has been done. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I'm not going to worry about lunch. I did when they were younger, but now they (the children) can take care of it. It's part of growing up, and should not be the school's responsibility.
My youngster tried that. Of course, eventually they send a note home informing you that you owe x-amount for borrowed lunch money, then somebunny gets in trouble.SxyEboni said:
