Some parents are extremely anxious to the thought of the school year starting up and having to make lunches for their kids. It’s like there is this unspoken pressure that comes with making lunches for our children and for some reason we feel like we are competing with the other parents. 😥
Not everybody feels this way, but a lot of people do.
Let’s try to be kind to ourselves and stay focused on what really matters. Whether you love spending half an hour making Pinterest-worthy lunches or prefer throwing in a few convenient snacks five minutes before the kids head out the door, both are perfectly okay. What matters most is that your kids are fed and have the energy they need to get through the day.
Remember that there’s so much more that goes into making lunches than the items we see in the lunch box (budget, time, interest, mental load, culinary skills, family schedule, nutritional knowledge, etc.).
Happy lunch-making! 🥪🍌🥒
