I have 2 DD, 14 and 19. Both in school. I make their lunches and a friend of mine was shocked that I still make my girls lunch. I thought we were all doing this??? Just wondering when you stopped making school lunches for your kids?

Im not sure, guess its my way of caring for them?? I feel kind of silly now given hardly anyone does it. We don't have dinners and the "shop" only sells confectionery stuff.
I work full time and im exhausted, heading into perimenopause now and feeling like a doormat. Think I need to stop but feel guilty as they've not done anything wrong. They're good girls but I'm exhausted. 😮‍💨

Do they help around the house?

Is the issue actually their lunches or just that that’s yet another task that you do solo with no help from anyone else in the house?

I made for mine until they left school. That way I knew it was balanced and healthy.
