To write this letter to my son

[02]

and leave it in his lunchbox (where it may embarrass him).

Dear DS1,

stop chatting and eat your lunch. Eat it all up. Finish it. Or I will send my pet monster to eat you up.

Love Mummy xxx

He is in YR and has not eaten more than half a sandwich for the last week. He then crams it in on the walk between school and the car at 3pm and is a stroppy nightmare. He freely admits that he often has urgent chatting to do and he forgets to eat.

Someone will be along soon to tell you that this is CHILD ABUSE and you will scar him for LIFE, you evil cow.

I think it's chuckleworthy though

I am destined to be an embarrassing mum as soon as DD has the ability to be embarrassed, but I think it's funny and he'd laugh, surely?!

Wow, he is in reception and he could read that !

'Urgent chatting to do'?! Oh bless him!!

I leave DS notes in his lunchbox. I think it's sweet.

so long as he would be able to read it then yes, go for it.

Lol at "urgent chatting".

Yes, do it.

No one in my DS's reception class would be able to read all of that!
They dont have teachers sittin with them either, so you might end up with NONE of the kids on the table eating anything as they all chatter about what the note might say instead

I deliberately wrote it so that DS1 could read it himself, otherwise my threats would be much, much more interesting :)
