$1500 is not rent. basically we have our own house(paid). the $ is for the monthly utilities etc..

Your able to give her 1500$ a month , you should be able to make your own lunch. Geeeeeeeeeeezzzz! And yes, I do think your ungrateful your mother takes the time to pack your lunch for you when you could do it yourself. I remember when I was a kid how I never appreciated things m parents did, just wait until your buying stuff yourself, working and paying bills you will cherish one of those lunches.

make your own lunch. If you really want more food, you should tell her nicely that you want to give her a break and start making your own lunch. If you don't have time, make time. Also, I don't know where you live, but $1500 a month is an aweful lot in rent. I spend less than that on a two bdrm apt and utilities for a three person family. If you are old enough, you should perhaps move out? Be a little bit more responsible for yourself. I also don't know anything else about your circumstances, but it sounds like you are old enough and could take care of yourself.

how old are you that your mommy needs to pack your lunch for you? I am not sure if you are old enough to work you can't even spell right or make a correct sentence. You are working 20 days a month, welcome to the real world of life I mean you act like you are the only one that has a job and has to work. I think maybe you should be a big girl now, and start to pack you own lunches, I can't believe that your upset over something so petty. Try being a single mom with a full time job, raising 3 kids, then I may not be so appa;ed that you are not happy with the lunches that your mommy packs for you.. You are a joke...

I am going to make assumptions. Your mom is hopefully just being thrifty. She is from an older generation and being conservative. Saving what she doesn't spend on bills and food. I would just approach her that you aren't satisfied with your lunch. For 18 years my mom complained about the bills. She still does and sits on a fortune. During 3rd grade I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for months. I finally couldn't take it anymore. So I would see what the truth of the matter is with her. Electricity has become insanely expensive where I live. If there are money issues you need to find out.

Why is your mother still packing you lunch? How about just telling her what she packs isn't enough? She is not going to know if you don't tell her! How about you offer to pack your own lunch? If food is an issue at your house, and the money your giving your mother isn't justifying your needs, than I think it is time to move out and take control of your life and your lunch!

very: It seems like you are a member of a business relationship not a family relationship. It seems like dear ol' mom is being chintzy with the food to save $ . I can see you paying 1500 dollars for rent and food with house hold chores thrown in - but going hungry ? Sit mom down and tell her that since you are paying for your portion of the food, you want more to eat for lunch. Remember; it's HOW you say it, that's important rather than WHAT you say to her . Respect her feelings but do tell her.

You give your mom 15hundred dollars a month and the other people in the house also give her money every month.? How much is this house that you are all living in cost.?
I think you need to start making your own lunch.

Instead of giving her 1500 dollars a month give her a little less and buy your own lunch and pack it yourself.
That way she'll still get some money from you and you'll get what you want for lunch.

Consider the portions you receive at your normal Family meals. Breakfast and Dinner! Consider the Lunches that you get at home on the days when you aren't working....Does it all even out?

Well, if you are old enough to work and give your mother money for expenses, why can't you pack your own lunch?
I guess I'm confused about that part.
