i mean lunch i have made her tea chicken dinner so its lunch sorry

kelly b - he never coped with out me his mum still did his washing and he lived on ready meals and his mum got his sunday dinner !!!!

Answer 1

My kids don't eat much, but a great lunch for then is "Snack food" chopped apple, grapes, raisins and any kind of picky food I can find.

Answer 2

Why on earth can your daughter's dad (and his mum) NOT cook for her? That is just neglect. Why should you have to leave all the meals for him? Surely, they will be eating something themselves? Can't your daughter have some of that? I'm amazed. If you don't give her a packed meal, then what will they do? Starve her?

Anyway, if you choose to fit in with their laziness, then I would try cooked pasta, mixed in with a sauce of some sort (try pesto, or a ragu sauce). Or, cooked rice with something (how about a risotto?). Does she eat fruit and veg - how about veg sticks, and some fruit like strawberries? Bread sticks? You don't say how old she is, so it's hard to recommend something. Depends on a child's age and preferences. There's some ideas here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mostof_childrenlunchbox.shtml

Good luck!

Answer 3

If she has a good breakfast and there's a substantial tea already prepared then I am sure fruit and yogurt will see her through nicely. Bananas are good for bulk and slow energy release. Won't his mum have something she could eat or at the least bread she could make a sandwich with? I am sure she won't see her grandchild go hungry.

Answer 4

I have to send food up to my ex-partner whenever he has my 3 year old for the day. I ask her, she usually says veg soup or ravioli - i also include extras including cucumber, cherry tomatoes, slice of cheese, pitta bread, followed by yoghurt and fruit. At least with a tin of something all he has to do is open it and heat, then serve. My daughter loves these lunches - she calls them her picnic lunch - and she thinks that daddy has prepared it all for her!! Crackers are another good one, again served with salad and other bits and pieces.

Answer 5

i hear ya hun have had the same prob before! what about pasta salad? if it doesnt have to be a hot meal and you just want to make sure shes eating something healthy, fruit, yoghurt, carrots etc. dont mean to be funny, and i dont know the situation but surely his mum can provide a meal for her grand daughter?!!!

Answer 6

I would say Soup, Pasta, Salad, Corn Dogs, Hot dogs, Burgers, dumplings,...

Answer 7

omg !! u need a new husband lol . 1 thinks ur husband seems 2 rely on u 2much . soup seems the best bet or finger foods like cut up veg , fruit but hell really ur husband should be able 2 look after his own daughter :)

Answer 8

Leave him to it, some how he will cope and so will she, he probably does know how to do things but it sounds like you do everything so he has conveniently forgotten, remember he did survive before you so I would let him get on with it, your daughter will teach him a lesson of two, because if she is hungry and he doesn't feed her, she will give him hell (at least I hope she will)

Answer 9

why cant his mum give them tea?
or tell them to eat out for lunch

Answer 10

Soup is a good thing for her to eat and all you do is heat and add water.
