We have had a few difficult moments since Meg started grade 1 this year. For me, this letter from her teacher was the ultimate!
Meg is at a very wealthy private school and lots of the parents are your typical private school parents. Lots have more money than sense and another big group only have 1 child.
I'm a very intolerant person, I know that. Since I had triplets my tolerance for single parent families has gone down the tube. And this letter says it all!
Dear parents,
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU ALL.
I have had a number of complaints from parents about the girls not eating their lunch. This is just to keep you in the loop and to let you know that I have been trying very hard to ensure that they do eat their lunch -
For instance - they cannot go to the tuck shop until they have eaten their lunch.
The comments I have heard are as follows:
- I don't like anything in my lunch box
- My au pair didn't pack the right lunch
- I don't like ham and cheese together - well take off the ham and you can eat it separately. LATER... I forgot, I don't like cheese, I like ham.
- I don't eat the sandwich my mummy gave me.
- I don't like peanuts. Or fruit or the other stuff.
- Biltong is horrible.
I am not sure what to do about this as it seems many of you are packing lunches your children do not want to eat?????
My response to the teacher... " Don't stress, she won't starve herself "!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me? I'm going to guess she doesn't have children???
That is so ridiculously ignorant of her!!!!! I don't even know what to say.
That letter gave me a good laugh, has this teacher not got anything more important to worry about?!
