To put notes in my ds's lunchbox?

[Onestonetogo]

DS is in year 1 and this week is having packed lunches. I have started to insert hand-written noted inside the lunchbox for him to read ("Hope you enjoy your lunch" "Have a lovely day at school" "Kisses from mummy"). I think it's sweet and can help him with his reading.
But, now that I started it, do I continue to do it every day? Will the teachers/staff think it's over the top? Too "pass-the-bucket"? Could he feel "different" in any way because his friends don't get notes and he does?

I have one child who would LOVE this (ds1, nearly 8 with Aspergers)

and one who would hATE it (ds2, 6, NT and very keen on being cool)

I might do it tomorrow actually because it would give ds1 a lovely warm fuzzy moment

I have a note pinned to my monitor from ds1, it says

"dear mummy, I hope you enjoy having us around because to us you shine down like the sun even on grey days so even when your cross we love you so because you are our mummy"

he would love a note in his lunch

the line about it being all about the mother is just crap and insulting. Not dissimilar to people saying that breastfeeding a toddler is all about the mother. Total crap - everybody is different, and different parents/children relate differently.

Ah i think its lovely, im going to start doing this for my DD who has just started school :) (she can read lots of words so no prob there :) )

So it's not total crap then, is it? It's crap for some people and not for others.

if you like

your post, however, which told OP SHE was being unreasonable, was crap

Do you all fix your husbands dry martinis when he gets back from the office too? And have little bluebirds fluttering round your Cath Kidston aprons?

The 1950s are thataway

yes BOF of course we do

ffs

We used to write on the cling film of dd's sandwiches, draw hearts, send kisses etc. It was well received until one day DH drew a picture of someone bending over and farting with a cloud of fart billowing out behind him and the words 'Enjoy your lunch trumpet trousers xx'.

We were banned from doing it anymore after this.

Sorry Greensleeves. I withdraw my reply to the OP. I should have said "Whatever is right for you and your bubs, hun!" and kept my opinion out of it. Because giving your opinion is the last thing that AIBU is about. It's all diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks- that is the only reply ever required- you are absolutely right.

what an oddly passive aggressive post

are you feeling quite well today? You're not usually a tosser

Of course you can post your opinion. And I can respond to it.

I suppose it could be nice, but I'm on the spew side of this as my DM used to cut my sandwiches into fancy shapes (hearts, flowers etc.) and I hated it

I was 15 at the time which explains why

Not really, Greeny. I've been up very late doing DIY and am feeling rather curmudgeonly. But I have to violently disagree on not usually being a tosser- you must be skimming most of my posts.

lol that explains it then

am feeling pretty grim myself today

who gives a fuck about lunch boxes anyway

LOl at this thread and you two tossers bickering.

markStretches 'enjoy your lunch trumpet trousers' made me laugh.

I don't make lunches for anyone ever, but did (I must have been in a good mood) made DP a sandwich one morning with some leftover gammon, put it in a box with a note left in (a piece of paper with a drawing of an eye, a drawing of a heart, and a drwaing of a sheep (which meant ewe, as in you, oh god am I making sense?)), anyway to read as I heart you

Anyway, he rang me up at work to say why am I outting notes in his lunchbox saying that I was a sheep shagger.

P'raps you had to be there.

On the rare occasions the Inferiorettes get a packed lunch, they are allowed crisps. I can assure you this means more to them than any billet-doux ever could.
