Most parents find making school lunches A BIG FAT PUNISH. Or is that just me? What did you take for lunch as a kid? If you’re a parent, what do you pack for your kids?

I try and be very health conscious with my little ones (who are too little for school yet) and was reading all these articles to try and get a few suggestions for when daycare starts next week, but they just blew my mind. Homemmade pita crisps & beetroot dip; roast beef wraps; sushi, carrot, sprout & sultana sandwiches, sweetcorn & zucchini fritters & fresh Vietnamese rolls were the suggestions in one Sunday newspaper article. Don’t get me wrong – this sounds yummy, but where do parents get the time and do the kids eat it?
My hubby reckons nobody but nutritionists pack this stuff for their kids, but I don’t know.
What was in your child’s lunch box today?”
In my child’s lunchbox today: leftover sushi from last night and some fruit. Phew. I didn’t have to prepare a damn thing. It’s barely been a week back to school/kindy and already I’m flagging.
In my lunchbox as a kid: I was quite partial to a beetroot sandwich on white from the canteen and a chocolate moove. Sometimes, a cream bun also. If I had to bring from home, it was something unappetising on Vogel bread.

i remember endless days of ham and cheese in white slices.. maybe a banana or two and icypoles afterwards.. that was about it really. the other day i went over to my cousin's place and watched her packing her kid's lunchboxes, OMG talk about extravagance! she had a variety of gourmet treats and things she had prepared, have no idea how long this could possibly go for!
Hi everyone!!!
I am writing a story on children getting food poisoning from their lunch box overheating and would love to get a quote from a mother who has experienced this?
Thanks :)
