Parents are upset because they are no longer welcome in the school
cafeteria. I guess some parents don 't want their kids to grow up and
be self thinking and independent.

I'd just raise the price of the lunch for adults to $14 then use the money to buy the kids candy.

Now that is a great solution. Afternoon would be great in the classroom
with sugar loaded kids!

We've only had parent lunch visits on rare occasions. I don't recall there
ever being one for me. My brother had one. My mom went, ate the food then no
longer required us to buy lunch.

I had two with Angela. Both the same year. One was for a birthday. Since her
birthday is in July, she got to pick another time during the school year.
The next time was when they were giving oral book reports in costume. They
did something like 10 book reports per day and the parents of those kids
were allowed to come for lunch.

My school had a cafeteria but we had to eat in our classroom. We got a half
an hour. Angela's old school has a cafeteria now but did not in those days.
The food was prepared at another school and was brought in on Styrofoam
trays. 20 min. for lunch. Canned ravioli was what they served on the day
that I went. She wound up taking a snack of apples and carrots and then
eating her meal when she got home.

I assume that's an elementary school situation. I was very active
in my daughter's elementary school...very first room dad (vs the
traditional room mother) for grades 3-6. I organized and
participated in all the class parties, field trips, and school
events. But I never went there to eat lunch with her. At least
with older elementary school kids, a parent showing up to eat
lunch with them would be embarrassing to them.

Nothing wrong with being active and helping the school. My wife did
some of that and I did some after hours stuff.

This is a parent that comes just to have lunch with their baby and not
allow them to be a part of real life. One mother said it is good so she
can open the kids milk container. Let the kid struggle and get it done.
That is how kids learn to get ahead in life, not to let mommy do it for
them.

My understanding is that Canadians will put milk in a bag. I'm not sure how that works or if it's even true.

when I was in around 5th grade we got milk in plastic bags that you
needed to pierce with a straw with a point on one end - the problem being
that many, many kids failed to cover the non-pointed end completely with
their thumb, and it ended up being a lot messier than those stupid cartons

It's true. Milk is sold in cartons of various sizes; 250 ml, 500 ml,
1litre or 2 litre, basically half, pints, pints, quarts and 2 quarts.
The gallon equivalent is sold in bags. The 4 litre size is a bag that
contains 3 smaller plastic bags of about 1.3 litres each.

You need a special pitcher to slip the individual bags into.

heh heh. Not my goal but every job does have it's fringe
benefits. :-D Not the prime place to look for a new mate though.
Lots of nice, young and attractive women but most were either
married or living with a boyfriend. Gary wisely left those alone.
Not only do I respect a marriage (or even a live-in
relationship), to mess with a woman in either situation is just a
death wish.

Lunchtime is where your cliques are formed. You'll be forever cast
away as "that kid eats with his mom" and be ignored and mocked until
you can start college in another state. By that time you're already
a homely wreck and unable to socialize normally.

We have a rat and snake (not at the same time) infested shed. Does
that make up for no basement?

Pickled herring with onion, sour cream and a beer is one of the world's
great flavour combinations.

I eat both. Sashimi is in my top ten and so is Dutch "new" herring.

The whole hysteria is good for a laugh, not seeing their kid every
few hours makes them freak out. It's reasonable to assume that a
student who is so delicate his mommy needs to help him with his
lunch is probably going to have a lot of help with his homework, too.
Can't see them struggle!

These are the people they mock on American Housewife.

Never knew that... and I've been gorging on pickled herring all my

herring on a bialy is another fav.

Dutch new herring is the best herring. I feel sorry for all of you
who've never had it:

Yes, those stands are everywhere. Dutch "cuisine" doesn't amount to
much, but I do miss those new herrings in Australia.
