I still put some money inside her pocket. Once she told me she forgot to bring her lunchbox out to recess. Run back and take but the door is locked. Luckily she got $ in her pocket so she follow 1 of her classmate to buy food. Maybe she experiences the chaos and hassle of buying food.. She rather eat bread EVERYDAY. :stupid:

leads me to the story when once I forgot to make bread (actually I thought my mum bought bun for him and put in his bag). Our friend thought he was 'abandoned' without food. He didn't bother to search in his bag for the wallet that is always there - just assumed it's not in there since he didn't see it directly. Thank goodness he borrowed a bit of money from a classmate and bought some snacks to eat (not enough for onion rings even, poor chap).

Anyway, after that, I made him pack his own bag so he knows where things are. And of course, debt was repaid. I do have a niggling wonder if that poor girl had to go hungry becos she was short of the 50cents lent to my son....

But curious, how do you teach him money sense? I'm thinking about how to start my DD on that. The only saving concept she knows is that ang pow money will be saved in the bank.

So far, he doesn't need money for own use. Ang bao goes straight to his bank account. Recently he wanted to buy a Ben 10 book, I told him he has to take out of his hard earned money; he cannot use the money that is for reward (eg reading well that kind of thing).

That poor fella had to do some chores around the house like fold pillowcases, dry mop the floor, to qualify for that hard earned money. He did get extra tips for doing those chores with a smile though.

[quote=\"hquek\"]once I made spaghetti and it was returned practically untouched. Since then I've scaled down on ambition and just stick to fish fingers + cheese. Our friend won't even take ham at times, so not going to try ham sandwich. :stupid: :stupid:

First time I hear a kid does not like ham. I try not to give my kids too much ham because of the salt and preservatives.

Mine also doesn't like ham. Everything you give it to her she will :dowan:

Hi, I m quite new here. I have 2 kids in HWS and recently I was told that they have difficulty getting food in the canteen cos everyone is cutting queue. Therefore, my kids (P1 & P3) have requested for packed food for this week. Just wondering if your kid/s facing the same problem?

Yes! My DD (P1) has even complaint to me that the upper primary kids always like to cut the queue and she even pushed down by one of them.

Thereafter, I've been preparing lunch box for her after since the buddies system kick off.

My son was buying food on his own from the canteen after the buddy system stops. I encourage him to do so & he was fine all the while except lately… He told me most of his classmates now also bring packed food because they all have the same problem, can’t get food as they are being pushed & squashed. Poor P1s… any other parents having the same concern?
