#17: Lesson Learned
People were so quick to judge the parenting style of Ruby and Kevin when it came to the lunch debacle with their youngest, Eve. But so few of them understood why they reacted the way that they did. So many kids these days are given everything they want on a silver platter without a second thought. And these parents are trying to do things a little bit differently.
All of their kids were taught how to make their own lunches once they reached Eve’s age in a simple manner. They collect several prepackaged snacks and an already made sandwich and place it all in a lunch bag. Her parents didn’t want to enable her through something that would be an integral life lesson… It might seem like tough love, but really it comes from a place of attempting to make their kids capable.
