@@1lrog I don’t live in a country that brings lunch to school but even I can imagine that her content helps other parents make their kids with lunch ideas
I pack my sons lunch every day and he is 15. He told me the other day that some kids ask him every day what he has for lunch because I never send the same food twice in a row. It makes me so happy to know my son will look back and appreciate the little things I do for him daily.
And this is why we have so many young incapable men .. They need to learn it and make it by themselves, because with these simple things they learn how to respect what they have.
@maybe-maybe.not. not really it'd mostly because parents don't teach their kids basic things not because they make them lunch if your their parent and you want to do this for your kid then do they'll appreciate it as long as you still teach them how to do things on their own it's alright don't get your panties in a twist just cuz a mom wants to make lunch for a child cause that's literally still her child and their age isn't gonna make her want to stop feeding them
@@luckbell1207 He's 15, seriously? As a woman I cooked lunches for the whole family at that age and you're telling me it's ok for mom to serve him like he's a little boy? Is a sandwich, he can make by himself.. Serve him till he gets married so he can search for a woman who can replace his momma 🫣 Basic stuff is making sandwiches by yourself just so you know, not expecting someone else to make it for you, tray starting whit that you'll see the difference in behavior.
@maybe-maybe.not. you can know how to do basic stuff while your parents still cooking for you. My parents cook for my brother and he still knows how to clean properly and make a good meal so just because SOME people are incompetent doesn't mean everyone is. This mom is doing it clearly because she wants to not because he expects him to. Doing something nice for your partner or kid by making them a lunch isn't gonna suddenly make them useless and incompetent I swear theres always some little btch who's complaining about parents or spouses doing something for their partner or kid and it's just embarrassing cause why are you mad that someone's PARTNER or PARENT is cooking for them? Parents still do this things you know I've seen many parents who bring their child left overs or extras as a kind gesture when their child is capable of cooking. Some people's love language is cooking so their happy to give food stop getting angry over someone's kid getting some food when you have know idea what their capable of doing on their own so kindly shut the fkk up and go do something with your time instead of getting angry over someone making lunch for their child. Hope this helps and if it didn't then I don't really give a fck so don't respond!!
@maybe-maybe.not. Just cause your parents don't want to make you lunch for time to time as a sweet gesture doesn't mean others can't. You're talking like those people who get mad at others for their parents taking care of them, and that's just embarrassing. Her making her son a sandwich and food for lunch so he can spend his money on other things won't hurt him for all WE know he can be a fully capable man who knows how to take cares of himself. Maybe you've surrounded yourself around bad and lazy man or your siblings if you any are lazy like that, but not everyone is like that. My parents cook for my brother and he still knows how to properly clean and cook for himself surrond your self around useful and hardworking men who won't use you as a maid instead of projecting on a TEENAGER who's mother makes him lunch I can't imagine being that angry and pressed over a mother showing love to her son in a way thats not putting her other child or others down. Someone making food for you won't magically make you lazy and incapable of doing basic tasks don't assume that someone's incompetent because someone who loves and cares about them decides to do a nice thing for them ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Since my last reply was deleted I think I don't know
People forget teens are also kids. Show them love and they won’t forget about it when they get older. Teens need love and attention too. Just because you get older doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get the same loving treatment that you did when you were younger it just means you should be able to do it for yourself and others as well. She is such a good mom. Little things like having ur mom pack lunch mean a lot.
exactly! it’s obviously important that your teens understand being responsible & are learning how being an adult works but there’s nothing wrong with “babying” them or helping them out with some things as long as they don’t feel entitled to you doing everything for them. a good kid who is capable of doing things on their own can have their lunches packed for them & it won’t make them spoiled! it’s the same with those videos where wives pack their husbands. as long as they don’t demand it or expect it or are too lazy to do it on their own, there’s nothing wrong with a partner showing their love for their partner in that way as long as they don’t take advantage of their kindness or act entitled!
@@Kayla-rd5jd That’s a great example about spouses that do the same thing. When a spouse does it, it’s okay and almost immediately accept because they are married, but when it’s for their teenagers-NOOOO! THAT’S GOING TO SPOIL THEM! Isn’t the spouse, hopefully, is a grown adult and can make their own food? It’s about showing the family that I love you and I have done this action because I love you!
Dw babes I’ll make you lunch! What you want? Pizza? A burger? A ham sandwich or a salad? For snacks I’ve got loads of crips and choose which fruit you what
That's why I started cooking early. My mom was so kind and patient with me, but her cooking skills were... Not on point, to be honest. Never had trouble making my own sandwiches, burgers, crêpes, etc. It's rly not hard if you have time.
My parents fed my entire crew (five highschoolers) every day for lunch because I lived closest to the school. Every day we drove to my house and they raided EVERYTHING. They never complained to me once as a kid, and never complained to me now that I have a kid eating me out of house an home. SO MUCH RESPECT.
Exactly, especially in their teen years. Teens go through a lot of changes and can usually start to develop mental issues so parents support and small actions like packing their lunch could really help them a lot!
I'm 47, and my mom is 70. She literally packed a breakfast and lunch for me today unbeknownst to me. I just went to drop off my son's clothes for tomorrow and a few toys to play with after school because she's getting him off the school bus for me, and he's spending a night with her. She passed me the bag when I gave her his overnight bag 🥰
The lunch for who he hangs with is so thoughtful I recently was bringing a lunch that had the help of my mother making it with me too work and I was able to feed my friends who were hungry some not eating all day others couldn’t afford the expense of food where I worked so genuine and appreciated
My mom sent me an extra brownie for this guy in my class that always asks me for food lol. He’s always hungry so I give him something out of my lunchbox almost everyday, and bc my mom knows and loves him she decided to start packing me an extra of something so I can share it with him without taking from my own meal. Super sweet of my mom and now he loves her so much lol
As a divorced dad who had primary custody of the kids, this hits home. We got divorced when my youngest son was about to go into high school, and I packed his lunches every day. Also made him breakfast every day before school. If anyone thinks this is spoiling a kid, it's a hell of a lot better than just trusting the school to make sure the kids are eating healthy.
@@lamijadedovic4623 Why do you assume they can’t? Just because there teens suddenly there parents can’t feed them? I’m sure they make there own food too. Are people really this dumb
@@lamijadedovic4623 we can but being a teenager is tiring as hell. All of us are constantly stressed about school, our futures, and rarely have time in the morning to cook breakfast, pack a lunch, etc. I don’t have a parent like her and I rarely ever make breakfast or even eat at school even though I can cook, and can pack a lunch.
My mom packed me lunches until she physically couldn’t anymore. It’s an act of love I’ll never forget making sure I was always fed properly and exactly the food I wanted. Your son won’t forget it!
Being a mum also means preparing you children for adulthood, for the future,... If he doesn't learn how to it will be aot harder for him later.... Love also means letting your children go and explore very aspect of life, doesn't mean you can't spoil them once in a while
@@AM-yu6ysI'm sure he can comprehend packing a lunch..lol he probably just doesn't have time to during studies, getting sleep, and maintaining his relationship as well.
@@AM-yu6ys Let his mom pack his lunch bro. I'm sure he knows how, it's very very simple. I know how and I've never packed a lunch. My mom packed my dad's because with his old job he would only get 4 hours of sleep and then go in for a 30 hour shift that was split between him and a co-worker. My dad knew how but didn't have time, this dude might not have time and needs help.
My son is a 46 year old worship pastor who lives 45 min. From his church. Wednesdays are looong days for him because he has worship team, praise band, sound and tech meetings, and adult choir. My husband and I sing in his choir, so sometimes I pack a beautiful supper for him and his wife, who works full time but still drives over to support him. They are rushed and starving before choir, so they grab the picnic basket and have a quick meal before choir. I’m 70, but helping provide these occasional meals gives me great joy.
God bless you ❤ you raised a beautiful family and you still take care of them even though they are grown ups. I lost my mother young and your story makes me tear up with joy because a mother's love is so special and everlasting. I hope and pray that God blesses you with a long life with your wonderful family 💝 And I'm sure they love and take care of you with the same love you give them 💐🙏
i got a question, some say 13 is still a preteen, other say it’s teenager, i used to kinda wanna believe 13 is still “preteen” but as i got older it just really feels comfortable n complete that it’s teenager. and yeah besides the obvious thirTEEN. as you get older you’ll understand if you don’t already, sometimes the obvious answers to things isn’t exactly the right answer.
As a teenager i can confirm that we also require these love,care and efforts. We feel way more deeply then kids under 10. And getting to have lunches made by our mothers at this age is a big blessing 🤍
Affection during teen years is as important or even more important than people think. That’s when you’re dealing with a lot of stress and navigating finding who you are. Although I didn’t show it, I appreciated my parents being lovey on me and “babying” me still. I felt so loved
Exactly! when you look out and see how people are wanting to shove teens just out of the house and into the workforce almost as soon at they turn 16 with the little "You are an adult now" shit is scary! I love when my mom lets me play games or when i get to relax and just be a kid even if its only for a little while
And a lot of teens just... don't eat. And I don't know if their parents notice? I used to skip usual breakfast and lunch because I didn't have the energy to prep the night before and was usually too tired to wake up early enough and school lunch was too expensive to me (I was incredibly frugal and still can be). So my first meal of the day was like, whatever possible leftovers were in the fridge at 3 pm, and I don't know why I was so surprised that I was always cold and tired during the day. And I knew kids who didn't eat either due to stress, disorganization, or actual disorder. I'm thankful to my mom for everything, but it's not fair to judge a mom who prepares food for their teen out of love
Yeah i literally suffering from my own depression and anxiety and i can't sleep because of my insomnia and my parents decided to be an asshole and just blame that it happened because i play on my phone too much 😑
Not just because its a nice thing to do, but because high school is a full time job and kids are under way more pressure + stress than adults realize. This is so sweet.
I think adults have an idea since we are finished with school and sometimes college too. And working full-time and raising kids. But yea...teens are stressed.😒
@@truetwinflameandspirituala8211 imagine what your kids could do if they could focus on school and extracurriculars and social life because you were a helpful parent and gave them a hand where you could. That extra time, little stressors taken care of, can help their grades and get them in a good position in society. Then they can be grateful towards you and pay some effort back when you grow old. It's almost like hunans naturally form communities and relationships and connections to help one another. Wow.
Pack him all the lunches while you can! My mom made me lunch every day till I graduated and when I left for college it hit her one day in the grocery store that she no longer had to pick out the things I liked for lunch and cried as she skipped over the items she usually got for me! Making food passes down kindness and appreciation for one another!
I had to pack my own lunch since 1st grade (7) at the time, I often forgot to take the bag with me because I was in a rush, ended up being pitied by friends and they would share their lunch that their mothers packed. Up until high school finished, never had lunch again really. Had to leave 6:30am sharp, had homework till 10pm, while cleaning, doing chores, preparing dinner for the night as well, and trying to get a nap from not being able to sleep much. I had to endure school days, starving, not even having time for breakfast. When I have kids, I don't want them to burden themselves too much with it, having busy schedules, being work tied. Of course I'd love to help them learn to make their own lunches for the future so when they go to college they can care for themselves as well as when they have their own children one day..
My mom packed my lunch almost everyday till i finished school. She even sends me to uni with boatloads of food every time I come home. Acts of service is her love language. This made me think of that. It means a lot and I'm sure he appreciates you so much.
@@dulario871 just say ur unloved and go , it’s literally just a mum giving her child food as an act of affection , does growing into an adult suddenly mean u can’t enjoy ur mums home cooked meals or smth ?🧍🏻♀️
@@dulario871 dude she isn't feeding him she is just giving him some extra food if your parents didn't care enough about you to give you some extra food that doesn't mean you talk shit about other parents who are kind and supportive to their child
@leila yesss. 🤌 Thank you so much. You saved me from writing a whole essay explaining what it means to have parents care for your well-being when you're away from them and overwhelmed slash feeling borderline insane with stress with the boatloads of uni work we have these days replying to this dude. It's literally all the loving action my mom can do for me to relieve any little amount stress she can such as saving me from eating nonsense and unhealthy foods while I'm going through all this turmoil. It is indeed just affection. Not coddling. 🤝🤝 Thanks again.🌻
Lol yeah pack his lunch and enough to share ❤ the said thing is that too many parents forget about the teenagers because they are now teenagers. They still need that help and caring from the parents
@@8luvbug generational/cultural barriers put limits on some families' responsibilities as parents. my parents refer to my elder sister as mentally weak each time she lashes out on them for not paying more attention to their children's necessities. my sister still continues to thrive and carry our family on her back. i can see why they're getting praised. to make up for what they may not have received.
@@8luvbugyes but they should still be thanked for cuz some people don't have parents who would do that so yes even though it is the bear minimum it should thanked
Sweet yeah but at what point should his mommy stop packing homies lunches? Not trying to be a dick for the sake of it but what age is too old, i was doing this for myself as a 12yo so like 6th grade year. Genuinely curious.
@@WinterBoots15 I understand you're not trying to be a dick. The thing is her son is growing up and she's not gonna be there all the time in the future. He's gonna move out and live on his own. Have his own job and probably his own family. So making these lunches for your kid is kinda just like making memories. My mom still makes my little brother his lunches even though he's in highschool. The reason she does it bc she just wants to baby him a bit more. Be his mother bc adulthood is right around the corner. She just wants to make time for him bc there probably won't be any time in the future. Anything can happen so that's why the present is precious.
@@malialutu7857 i get what you’re saying but it’s more important to know how to do these basic tasks before you go out into the real world. I’m sure the son knows that but in general
@@malialutu7857 youre taking big steps dude. He is growing thats why I he said be doing it not his mother. Take baby steps up to the whole moving out step is what im getting at. Also babying him at high schooler age is something they can get dependent on and partially my point as to why he should be doing it since hes in highschool it really isnt that hard to put a lunch together at that age
I pack lunches for my siblings in highschool. I know how tired they are after school, sports, clubs, and homework so the last thing I want them to worry about is having to make something decent for lunch. They also get so tired they would just throw whatever they could find in there instead of actually putting together a healthy/filling meal and I have the time to do that for them and I don’t mind helping them out at all bc that’s what siblings do 😎
Thats some amazing parenting right there! Love that he gets to keep his lunch money and gets a healthy meal. Most school cafeterias nowadays serve literal garbage. Keep it up! your son will thank you ❤
My dad made us breakfast every day before school. Did he have to? No. But he knew we worked late and were still groggy in the mornings. It was his way of showing us he cared, and I appreciated it every day ❤
I love this. Just because kids CAN doesnt mean we dont want to take care of them any more - they are always our babies. My daughter makes her own breakfast most mornings, but the way she enjoys it when I make it for her makes it all worth it.
My parents stopped making me lunch when I was about 11 to make me more independent, all that happened was I stopped eating lunch. You're doing great and I'm sure he loves these lovely lunches
My daughter does the same thing at her dad's and sometimes even with me. If I mention making something she will say no to whatever I'm making. Now I will just make something without telling her what I'm making and she will eat it if she sees it.
I have a friend who's mom did this for him too. She would take extra special care to make sure he had his lunch made and it was really nice of her. Id didnt stop there. My friend and his younger brother are now 39 and 35, both still live at home, they dont have jobs and dont bother doing anything since mommy does it all for them. She has to wake up at 4am so that she can do their washing... by hand... because they cant afford a washing machine, and then she has to ring the clothes and towels out, and hang them on the line, then go to work at the local fishing tackle shop. Then she has to come home and cook dinner and then clean the house and then wash the dishes after they are done eating and it starts all over again. She is 73 and she technically retired 10 years ago but had to come out of retirement cos she couldn't afford to take care of the boys. She has told me she knows it was her fault since she ran around doing everything for them but she just loves them so much. Learn from this people. Dont run around after your kids. Tell them once and if they dont do it, they are on their own. Let them do things for themselves.
@@ImNoTourist doing everything for your kids so they dont have to lift a finger is not the same as making them a nice packed lunch for school, there are obviously limits, you can still do nice things for your kids without making them layabouts
Same my parents stopped when I was 12 and I didn't really mind 'till I started to have a lot of school homework which made me to tired to make lunch and end up making nothing.
i don’t know why anyone would complain about a mother doing this for their child. your baby will always be your baby even when they’re teens or adults. i wish i had a mom like you growing up 🖤
Can’t believe someone would complain about the food that mom prepares to take to school! Growing up my mom would always get up with us in the morning to prepare a warm breakfast for my sister and me. We wouldn’t bring lunch to school cause we had a cafeteria. After school, Mom was always making us hot lunch that included soup and a second course. I am 38 now but I still, remember how caring Mom was and still is, and am so thankful for her doing that ❤❤❤
@@wavy6470 she said he’s a teenager, but I agree, my parents want me to be more independent because I turn 18 next month but my anxiety gets in the way lol
People are just bitter or act as if making a lunch will prevent the child from doing simple task in the future like making a lunch in the morning which it won't. Folks just weird.
My mama did it into my thirties even with little notes and my coworkers were so jealous. We are Eastern European for us that’s what mothers do until their last breath is to take care of their family ❤
My dad made breakfast for me every morning in college. It is one of my favorite memories. No matter how old I get, I will never be too old to receive love from my dad. 🥰
i'm off to university in a few months and my mum still makes my lunch. no better feeling than opening your lunch knowing your mum has made it and that she's made it well.
@@JenJen0582 Am sorry she isn't here, idk if she left or if she went up to heaven, but ik if she she went up to heaven, she def cooking lunches for all the angels and God and Jesus, and when you go up to heaven, she will cook lunch for you again too!
I've been living in a dorm during most of high school (we moved after first year and I wanted to stay in that school) and now in college my mom makes me all the food she can, even when I have early morning classes. It's just like she wants to make up for lost time. She's the sweetest for that and everything else, plus I love her cooking so much!
@@meg2231 same but honestly I think it worked out for the better. Even when it came to washing clothes I was doing that at like 6😂 some kids didn’t learn how to do that till they left for college😅
Me neither. I was lucky to have anything for me to make myself do for lunch. I certainly never got anything made for me. I mostly scrounged off my friend so at least that was something semi reliable.
I’m glad my mom wasn’t like this because I learned how to make and pack my own healthy lunches. My parents bought the food/ingredients, but left it up to me to put the lunch together. Teaching SKILLS is a way better parenting move than DOING everything for the soon-to-be adult. For all those women with partners who seem to not know how to cook, make a lunch, or do laundry - Do your child’s future spouse a favor and stop DOING EVERYTHING for them!
The fact that his mom makes him lunch still as a teenager is something I hope he remembers in the future. Your parents expressing their love, no matter how is wonderful.
Or dads, or grandparents, or foster parents ❤ I was lucky to have a caring parent who did this & I hope all kids can experience even a fraction of it from someone they love
My daughter is 23 and in graduate school. When she is busy with papers or tired from her part time job, I make her lunch. Its not a big deal as I am HER mother. I work different shifts and she sometimes pack my dinner too. Thats what family does
I packed lunch for my 22 year old daughter on days she has to work over 6 hours. I can't help myself because I'm afraid she'll just skip eating, which she has a tendency to do.
@@nazwa226 Is that not better than just going to some fast food place every day? This is also an appropriate portion rather than just a whole bag of crisps, a whole pack of cookies and a huge sugary drink like. She also said that he can/will share his food with someone else so it's not even all for him.
Everything here is junk... wrapped in plastic, which her son will also consume as a result. We have to get out of the mindset of what we think "food" is. This ain't it :(
@@kirstenneely9911 What?? This is a perfectly healthy meal for a growing guy and using a ziploc bag or a little bit of plastic is not going to mean he eats it or that it harms him... Why don't you take this concern to the huge companies who are dumping waste in our oceans and polluting earth with microplastics rather than a youtube short with a very average lunch and not at all extensive use of plastic products...
having grown up with a neglectful mother, it makes me really happy to see mothers genuinely taking time to their for their children. especially if they are enjoying it and don't see it as an obligation. ty for reminding me that not all parents are hopeless :)
i second that, it was either pack something or risk seeing whatever was being served in the cafeteria and having to spend the entire lunch period waiting in line. i dont think i had lunches packed for beyond 2nd grade.
I will do this to. I realize as my girls are getting older that one day they won’t want me to do certain things and I want to do as much as I can for them before those days come ❤
@@FlowerPower-cf2fp Yes, we all know great, caring moms who are happy to save their kids time in the morning. Their kids feel loved and cared for and are more likely to reciprocate later on when mom needs help. This is why colleges have dining halls for students. Meal prep is time-intensive and cuts into your studies. It's also healthier than buying fast food at school.
My mom did my breakfast and packed my lunch until I entered college (she sttoped because i moved out, If not, she probably would have kept doing it) And for me it is simply an act of selfless love, She has always made my meals with special love and affection and eating what she prepares comforts me. Shoutout to every parent out there doing their kid's lunch even when they're perfectly capable of doing them! I love y'all!! 🫂🫂🫂
That’s why most of people can’t cook or do basic things because they haven’t been thought to do it! Kids won’t become independent u tik y’all wipe their ass until their mid 40 🤦🏽♀️
I’m not mad that you made his grown ass some lunch. I would appreciate lunch at any age. He may have difficulty finding a partner in today’s society that will make him lunch but it’s still a nice gesture and I appreciate you for that.
i remember i had the rule of " if you dont pack lunches yourself then you don't get one" and i am always so grateful to see parents that are as thoughtful as this i think every kid deserves a parent to pamper them like this Edit: My Mom was ill with many health issues and i was to young to be able to do it myself. it has nothing to do with being spoiled or feel entitled to have lunches made for me it wasn't like that at all.
I mean hey, just because my mom had me pack my own lunches doesnt mean she was less thoughtful. She is the greatest mother on planet earth. It taught me how to prepare healthy substantial food for my day in a timely manner. So, thank you mom!
Doing it sometimes is kind and thoughtful. However it is a parents job to ensure their child's self sufficient bybthe time they are adults. To do any less is being a bad parent.
As a teenager, ur son is lucky. I love when my mom packs me lunch, even when I can do it myself, cuz A: her lunches are always better than what I come up with and B: it shows she cares and makes me feel nice that she took the time to make me some food when it wasn’t needed
I love your thinking & care.same way people make lunch for their spouse,lunch can be made for their teenager .it teaches them to eat better & save money.they will remember this when they get older & do the same for their family one day .making food for your family is an expression of love.❤
My mom worked two jobs and didn’t have the time to make me lunch, but I was always thankful for what she provided for me. It’s cool to see you pack lunch for your son, I hope he appreciates it.
I may not have loved every sandwich my mom made, but in high school especially with how demanding everything felt, having my mom send me with a sandwich on the days she could made a huge difference ❤
