Battle of the Lunch box... Part 1

So we never had the toddler struggle over food... because he had no choice.

Now because we aren't there during the day at school we have had the big problem of how do we get him to eat what is in the lunch box at school?

The little man knows we cant make him eat what is in the school lunch box. He knows the teacher wont make him eat it... so now he is like "beauty I'm going to throw it in the bin so mum and dad don't know I'm not eating it." I think this is because at first we would make him eat it when he got home before having anything else, now we are in a battle of the wills.

We went through the whole phase of changing the foods daily to get him to eat what is in the lunch box. But when that wasn't being eaten what do we do? We tried the whole bribing thing... if you eat your lunch for a whole week then you can have a treat, a chocolate, a lunch order on Monday or choose something special to put in your lunch box. This all worked for a couple of weeks... then it was back to the struggle.

This new battle is definitely bringing out the grey hairs... that's if I don't rip my hair out first.

I think this might be my karma for throwing my sandwiches which I hated on the railway tracks on the way to school.

The resolution in part two when we find the answer... please let part two be soon PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
