What does this say about me as a mummy?

Twice a week the three older kids all have a packed lunch. Despite the school rules I think a little junk in moderation is a good thing. The lunchboxes usually contain at least 2 fruit or veg portions, alongside some protein, so I figure that if they eat the good stuff they deserve a little cake.

I don't apply this philosophy to myself by the way, I just have the junk, after 9 years of being mummy and about 5 years of broken sleep, I tend to think that I need the sugar rush to keep me on my feet.

Anyway back to topic. I sent Aidan off to school with his lunch, and that evening while emptying out the bags and washing up all the tuppaware I was surprised to find Aidan's chicken had largely been left after being picked over.

Aidan is a boy that loves his food, you know when people say a kid has wooden legs when they eat so much, while that expression was specially created to fit Aidan's piggy non stop eating stylie. Leaving food is certainly not in his nature, in fact I sometimes worry that I may wake to find that he has eaten the dogs or one of his siblings during the night

That day I had packed some of that nice deli counter chicken with the stuffing, and the girls reported back that they had very much enjoyed it. So I asked Aidan if he didn't like it, to which he responded "oh was it meant to be like that I though it was just really mouldy".

I think this says a lot about me as a mummy as he did not blink an eyelid at having excessively "mouldy" food in his bag, to the extent that he didn't even bother mentioning it, instead  he carefully picked the nice looking meat off from around the mould/ stuffing. Poor kid!
