To get around her kid’s daycare’s ridiculous rules for packed lunch, one TikTok mom came up with a “hack” to fake homemade dishes
Any parent who sends their kid to daycare, preschool, or a school with lunch rules knows what a hassle they can be. Gone are the days of simple, peanut-free cafeterias. These days, parents can expect a list of rules as long as the Cheesecake Factory menu, with such easy-to-comply-with requests as “no pre-packaged foods” or “no repeat meals.” Seriously? Like busy moms have time for this?
That’s where one genius TikTok mom comes in. She shared her hack for making a “fake” homemade lunch to skirt her kid’s daycare rules, and it’s about to become every mom’s go-to trick.
Over audio saying, “Nobody’s gonna know,” we see the mom, who goes by @mammathings on TikTok, scraping a microwavable pasta dish into a Tupperware container to make it look like some home-cooked leftovers. Mama’s special chicken and pesto pasta for lunch? This is definitely not Lean Cuisine. In the next shot, she has another Tupperware, and she’s emptying some Bluey cookies into it. As everyone knows, every mom makes Bluey cookies from scratch. It’s just what you do for your little angels.
The comments are filled with parents who are praising this mom’s chutzpah.
“If they aren’t paying or packing it’s not their concern what your feed YOUR kid. they say fed is best 😅,” one parent wrote.
Another commented, “‘Yes these Spider-Man fruit snacks are homemade. Thank you for asking!'”
Even a daycare worker chimed in to help shed some light on those ridiculous lunch requirements.
“as a daycare teacher i can promise you it’s management and as long as kids are fed teachers don’t care,” the wrote. OP replied, “This is comforting to know.”
So there you have it. Send your kid to school with whatever they want to eat (minus allergens that could be dangerous for other kids, of course). Just put it in a Tupperware first.
