To be infuriated by a lunchtime supervisor's comment to my daughter

[Mumofhree]

My daughter is 4 years old and started school in September.

Every day I lovingly make her a packed lunch with a selection of items so she can choose what she would like to eat that day. Some of it she eats and some of it is eaten after school. They only have a 20 minute window to eat their lunch and they can't eat that fast anyway.

My problem is that a lunchtime supervisor called my daughter a little piggy because she had a lot of lunch. Whilst it was in all likelihood a bit of fun, am I being unreasonable to think that this is the wrong message to be sent to a 4 year old girl? I do not want her thinking that she shouldn't be eating. Women are, after all, allowed to eat food!!

Please let me know what you think!

Stop with the "Every day I lovingly make..." Just sling some food in a box like the rest of us. As to the "little piggy" remark, it might have been said with a cuddly squeeze and a playful voice and mean very little indeed. Piggies are adorable anyway.

Why would you put a selection of things in a lunchbox, not expecting your child to eat it all but wanting him to have a choice, missisimee???
Take him to a Harvester at the weekends to satisfy his desire for a buffet; and send in a lunch he'll be able to eat.
