To think this packed lunch is fine?

So about a month ago DSD switched from hot lunches to packed lunch. She goes to school from our house Monday and Tuesday so I pack her lunch.

Today her Mum has text DH and said she's always starving when she gets in Mon and Tuesday so she needs bigger lunches. He said no problem we will make them a bit bigger or pack an extra snack for later as she has netball on a Tuesday after school.

Now this is the crazy bit, she said she just buys her Tesco meal deals as they fill her up and asked that we do the same!

For info she had a cheese and tomato omelette with a slice of toast for breakfast. Her packed lunch was a roast chicken and salad wrap, apple slices and peanut butter, a Greek yogurt and some celery sticks with hummus.

I will obviously very happily pack extra if she's hungry but a tesco meal deal?!

Sounds great. I think it just needs another carb to help fill the tummy.

I really don’t understand why you are having to defend yourself.
You give a crap about your DSD health, teeth and beyond . You are involved and love her and that shows . Don’t let any of the MN haters get to you. As I said on my previous posts my childrens SM would never make this effort for them . She is lucky to have you.
As a side my mum made me similar lunches when I was little ( in the 80s as well when everyone else was having white bread sandwiches and chipsticks) to be honest I was mortified, but now as an adult and with two children myself I fully appreciate what she did. Keep it up and just give her some bigger lunches x
