I was surprised to found the 2 cherries from Monday’s bento on a plate in the fridge when we returned home. Later I found out from MIL that Zo told her she wanted to keep those to eat at home as there had been a girl (one of her classmate, AZ) whom had been stealing taking her food everyday despite her protests. She said she knew those imported fruits I gave her everyday were expensive so that’s why she wouldn’t want to bring them to school and ended up not being able to eat them. My heart sank upon knowing this so I told Zo to give AZ a “stern warning” that I’ll make sure to talk to the teacher or even her parents this Sat when we go to the school for the sports day if she continues on with her behavior (taking other people’s food with permission). It’s unfair to Zo and us as we did not pluck the fruits right from the tree at our balcony! We too need to work hard for the money to buy them and give the best we could for our children. I do not think of us being selfishness (even if I am, I'm just acting out of a normal mum whom wants to protect her own child). If I had packed extra for Zo, then its ok for her to share with her friends once in a while. But not everyday when Zo has only just sufficient for her own and AZ has her own food (she caters from the canteen). MIL had asked me to not give her those expensive foods in her bento anymore but later I found out that AZ not only took fruits from her (she had asked for a piece of her rib eye ham from yesterday’s bento) but also other girls whom brought “good food”. So does this means that I had to even stop packing Zo any bento just because of one bad behaved girl? It’s unfair and silly isn’t it? I had asked Zo to tell AZ this will be my last warning as I’m serious with my “threat” (talking to the teacher & parents) if she still doesn’t stop this nonsense!
Not being able to pack her any imported fruits for the time being (Zo said she is still having phobia, poor girl), I had to just give her some seedless grapes and cherry tomatoes which obviously AZ is not interested in. It’s not that these fruits are of any of the “inferior range” (and they are not cheap too) but it just saddens me that Zo would not be able to enjoy the berries that she loves in her bentos like she used to. Today will be the last day for Zo’s sports day practice until the actual even this Sat. So I had packed her a 3-tier SPAM bread onigiri for the “energy”.

ur girl is just like Ryan. He is shy and timid, got bully now n then.
if I know abt the incidence , I told my girl, his mom, to talk to the bully or even his teacher or I'll go to his sch and make noise, heehee. Cant let my grandson 'suffer'.
So far he is ok now. We teach/ask him to speak up n always report to us if he is bullied, esp to me! His mom spoke to the bully's dad. And there r some moms who will tell my girl if R is bully too.
I always gets comments from her teachers that she is very "outspoken" in class/school (in another way I think it's more polite than saying she is talkative kua. hehe) so I would worry more that she will be the "bully" than the "victim".
I think the girl is just being "greedy" or bored with the canteen food; as she only take food (and not other stuff) from other girls. But still... it's unfair to us cz her parents didn't pay us to "feed" their child too.
I heard from Zo ysdy that they had teamed up against and "forbade" the girl from going over to their table (those whom caters w d canteen has assigned place) until all of them had finised their food else they will report to the HM. Way to go! haha
JY's friends used to take his food too, but at least his class teacher is aware of this and she informed me she always has to remind the kids not to touch JY's food, unless if JY give it to them. Way to go princess Zo and team! :)
