AIBU - primary age son wants to take BBQ spare ribs to school tomorrow

11 yo son has come back from his father's (divorced) with leftover takeaway BBQ spare ribs. Lots of sauce. He is in a special-needs class which can get rather rambuctious at times.

I think allowing him to take them is asking for trouble. Just ... no. He thinks I'm unreasonable and so does his father.

AIBU - he should be allowed to take them
YANBU - he should not be allowed to take them.

Sorry, lack of imagination here and a bit clueless, what do you foresee happening?

Does your DS often/usually take a packed lunch?

Well since hes in a sen class, they're usually more relaxed

My dd goes in with sausages which they microwave for her. Every day. The same sausages. For three years 😅

As a one off, im sure they wouldn't mind tbh, especially if they're already microwaving food x
