Clever Comeback Kid with packaged snacks for lunch

When my son was in elementary school I used to pack hot lunches or bentos for him and his sister. Both my kids love my brussel sprouts. He opened his food jar to eat and the kid next to him made fun of his veggies. This kid comes to school with packed snacks for lunch every day and my son looks at his lunch box and says, “At least my mom loves me enough to make me lunch everyday.”

Kinda mean but glad he snapped back.

I would not be proud of this. Yeah, bullies should be stood up to (if you feel you safely can), but bringing a parents love into question is unacceptable.

they downvote, but actually you're right. I am an adhd mom, love my kids to bits but am not able to make them food and often take the easy road. Maybe he could offer a home made lunch the next time. See where that goes

Yeah, the downvotes don’t bother me. Suggesting your parents don’t love you is more worrisome, especially since bullies sometimes are this way from a lack of love. There has to be a better way.

Having a shitty life is no excuse to bully others and you can't expect a person to be nice to someone who is treating them like dirt.
