So I am the main carer but my stepsons go to their mother for 6 school days per month . Anyway I picked the 9 year old up from school last Thursday and he hadnt eaten any of his lunch again that she provided . It was a brioche roll , rich tea and ritz. no effort was put in to that lunch at all ( all dried snacks ) and I was really annoyed as I always give him a good lunch or a school dinner because he loves fish fingers . so When he went back after 9 days with me , I put a note in the lunch bag I returned . would anyone else of done the same ? This has been going on for 7 years and Ive just had enough .
I feel your frustration. And I feel like this isn’t even about being a good mum it’s just common sense. I regularly struggle to understand what goes on in my stepdaughters mothers head. She will get uniform wrong and she wasn’t paying for lunches and built up a debt, but luckily the school still provided her with meals, but what frustrates me is my stepdaughter will turn up to our house with brand new expensive clothing and toys.
