Bad Parenting 101

Without us asking him, Riley emptied his lunch box yesterday....from 2 weeks ago! Below is the science experiment that we found in there.


Why aren't I one of those parents who remembers to ask their child to remove their lunchbox from their bag each day, or better yet, train my child to remove it without being asked? Why has my son got a completely uneaten moldy sandwich in his bag anyway, why didn't he eat it?

Every day we struggle with Riley and his diet. He is very fussy and prefers bland food like pasta, or rice, but not bread. He also dislikes most fruits and vegetables. What to pack for lunch is an ongoing challenge. This is made even more frustrating by the fact that the Montessori school community does not believe in having a canteen, and refuse to let the children use the microwave in each classroom, which is very un-Montessori!

On another note, 1.5 kilograms are lost and I have negotiated a job-share at work, I just need to find a full-time English teacher, so if you know anyone English trained and looking for work tell them to call Kelmscott Senior High School.
