If there’s one thing that all 21st century mothers and fathers have in common, it’s the performance anxiety that comes with packing a lunchbox.
Is it neatly organised in colour-coordinated tupperware? Does it contain at least one superfood? Did you remember to cut a message in your child’s banana to remind them that you love them?
If the invention of Pinterest (why, God, why?) has left you feeling horribly inferior, and you’re still recovering from that guy who makes all his son’s sandwiches in the shape of Disney characters, you aren’t alone.
Those Two Girls have your back, in this funny video that pokes fun at fancy lunch boxes (and the parents behind them).
“We’re raising a generation of mollycoddled children with sensory disorders,” Lise jokes. “It’s easier for a felon to get onto school grounds than a peanut butter sandwich.”
That may be true, but rest assured – there’s no peanut butter in these school-safe suggestions.
No fun, either, of course.
Just flaxseed and prunes.
Eat up, kids!

Ok I get where you they are coming from I too hate the pressure we get as parents even from some school/teachers to what must go in lunch boxes but to blame the parent for SPD issues!! is as bad as blaming autism on a lack of love from its parent "soo old school" sooo wrong it makes me soo mad "lise may joke" but I don't see the funny side!! Being that I am raising a child with SPD issues. my daughter has never been " mummy cuddled in fact the opposite ! I'm consider myself a lucky one. as a seeker not an avoider, which can give some parents an even harder time with their kids refusing to eat, where as my daughter over eats, seeking sensation rather than avoiding but how dare they blame the parents for a issue a child is BORN with no joke to many parents that struggle daily just to get their kids to eat maybe they need to live with SPD before they drop sensory issue in to their spill !!
