WWYD - let them go hungry or deliver lunch?

[Pancakeflipper]

14 yr old son has a current tendency for teenage 'it's about me'.
He's got a sports camp today. Was faffing and late this morning (on his phone).
I made him a sandwich for lunch to help him out. His lunch box was upstairs in his bag from yesterday (this annoys me) so told him I'd leave the sandwich in the fridge for him.

Just opened fridge and there's the sandwich.
No catering facilities at camp. Do I drive it round to him (would take me 15 mins to get there) Or ignore it?

Greentuplips you all need to start taking your keys out with you, your son did nothing wrong imo!

I think that is a good outcome. Personally I would have taken it over but any of my teenagers forgetting their lunch would have been a genuine mistake and not them twatting about on their phone (they like their food) and my view would be coloured by that. I refused to collect them if they missed the bus and expected then to wait the hour for the next as that was their poor time management something they could correct.

You and your son's coach are awesome! Running around after him doesn't do him any favours - he's old enough to start to learn that forgetting things has consequences. Bet he remembers tomorrow!

seems like an ideal outcome OP.

Eh, I'd take it. If it becomes a habit then you can stop. But kids are forgetful.

By taking his lunch and pandering to him he'll go on believing that he is the centre of the universe. He probably won't starve, a friend may offer him a few crisps or a sandwich. It should teach him a lesson.

Aw I’d definitely take it!

At 14 I think I'd take it. My DD 18 however, I wouldn't because I am trying to get her to be less reliant before uni.

Oh just seen your update. Love that coach!
