Sometimes I’m exhausted at night and I pack a lunchable to send for my almost 2 year old for daycare. I’m sure they’re judging the heck out of me but I’m too tired to care.
There I’ve said it. My first child had nothing but hand made organic lunches with real food and #2 gets lunchables.

I'm not seeing the problem here
DS is sooooo picky plus all his texture issues. Screaming until he has Oatmeal for 5 days in a row, sounds great! One day he likes pancakes and the next he doesn't. Seriously when all else fails spegetti is sure to win the day -
My kid has eaten pbj (or sunflower butter at school) or a cheese sandwich for lunch pretty much for the last year and a half...
-
@travellingbee: haha, what's wrong with that?? I usually pack my kid chicken nuggets for lunch.
-
When B was a baby he had, I swear, at least 6 different kinds of homemade organic purées to choose from at every meal. With W it's like "we're having pizza, here's a crust."
-
I see nothing wrong with this. My oldest has texture pickiness issues and he literally gets chicken nuggets everyday and has for the past 4 years! Also about once a week when I'm too tired to pack leftovers my middle guy gets an uncrustable. Packing lunches is the Bain of my exsistence!
-
And #2 has food to eat, a wonderful home to live in and a loving family. What more could you ask for??
-
I send my kid to daycare with PB&J every single day.
-
With #1 I made a batch of "food" for BLW on the weekend and used it during the week (sweet potato strips, roasted broccoli, soft pasta).... #2 gets puffs and a slice of a peach, if he's lucky. And I wonder why he's not eating more solids
-
Lol, YES! With LO1 I refused to buy puffs, I made homemade baby food / BLW. With LO2, I bought baby food jars, and she gets puffs daily. DH wanted me to admit I was crazy with #1. Nope, wasn't crazy, just don't have the time for LO2.
-
My favorite thing to buy for my kids is those pre-made frozen peanut butter and jelly. I mean, I am not sure if there is an easier thing in the world to make other than a pb&j, but having these stupid frozen pockets to hand them when I am just done with cooking is AMAZING.
-
My kid almost always gets frozen chicken nuggets and frozen broccoli for lunch
-
@erinbaderin: I can't count how many pizza crusts DD2 has had haahhaha!!
@Canoli: Uncrustables are SO good, lol!
@josina: Same. We only did puree for like 2 weeks with K1, but it was all made from scratch. We totally bought like 2 cases of jar food with K2! But then she just wanted what we had so most of it is just sitting there now...
-
I did this more when dd was 3 yo and every now and then as a treat now! Nbd!
@Mrs. Cereal: do you send them to school? I know right now we have a kid in dd's class wth severe peanut allergy.. I wish they made those things with alternative butters!!
-
Yep, even number 2 got homemade baby food and I cooked most things homemade but #3 ended up with quite a bit of jarred baby food now I'm pregnant with 4 and boxed mac n cheese is a regular thing and I give my kids cereal for dinner from time to time.
-
@Mrs. Cereal: @snowjewelz: We bought uncrustables when we were on vaca staying in an air bnb and I ended up eating a few and they really were pretty good
I'd buy them more if I could send to daycare!I am so not the parent I thought I would be when it comes to feeding our daughter. Her daycare does lunch and it's not really healthy (and rarely includes a veg) and I just don't care. It's 3 meals a week for her. I send her with a yogurt pouch, cheese stick, cereal bars, applesauce pouches, etc. for snack every day (plus fruit). Meal variety at our house has really taken a nosedive since having her so even though I'm sure she would eat a greater variety of food, she pretty much gets pasta, quesadillas, tacos, fried rice 9 times out of 10.
I think I'm doing pretty well and feel no guilt

@2littlepumpkins: Dr Praeger’s makes those frozen sandwiches with Sunbutter! So does Earth’s Best or one of the other kids “organic” brands. They def make them
-
Hmmm.... I am 7wks pregnant and all food sounds like garbage, but I could maybe eat some of a Lunchable
-
@2littlepumpkins: I only do them for home. My daughter's school has a no nut policy.
-
@2littlepumpkins: There's also an Annie's uncrustable made with golden pea butter, they call them Pea B n Js.
-
@gingerbebe: @2littlepumpkins: Yes, Annie’s. That’s the other one I was thinking of. It actually does taste quite a bit like PB.
