She shared her story.\n\n
\n

So\u00a0my\u00a0sister bought my\u00a0daughter (6-years-old) a\u00a0bento box that cost 50\u00a0dollars. Thursday after school, my\u00a0daughter came home, and while unpacking her backpack like\u00a0I usually\u00a0do,\u00a0I\u00a0noticed that her bento box was not in\u00a0there.\u00a0When I\u00a0asked her where it\u00a0was, she stated that a\u00a0girl in\u00a0her class named Audrey (fake name) had taken it\u00a0and refused to\u00a0give it\u00a0back.\n\n

I\u00a0asked if\u00a0she went to\u00a0her teacher, and she said yes, but her teacher told her that it\u00a0was just a\u00a0lunchbox, and it\u00a0shouldn\u2019t matter.\u00a0Now, Audrey\u2019s name isn\u2019t new to\u00a0my\u00a0household;\u00a0she and other girls always picked on\u00a0my\u00a0daughter, and no\u00a0matter how many times\u00a0I went to\u00a0the school about\u00a0it, nothing was done. To\u00a0say\u00a0I was furious was the least.\n

The next day, I\u00a0went to\u00a0the school 30\u00a0minutes before lunchtime and requested a\u00a0meeting with the teacher and the principal. They brought my\u00a0daughter down, and\u00a0I explained the situation, and they had someone get Audrey.\n\n

Audrey brought the lunchbox to\u00a0\u201cprove\u201d that it\u00a0was hers, but\u00a0I asked them to\u00a0open the lunch box because my\u00a0daughter\u2019s name was inside, and long behold, when she opened\u00a0it,\u00a0there was my\u00a0daughter\u2019s name as\u00a0clear as\u00a0day. When I requested she gives it back to my daughter, she began crying.\n\n

\n

The teacher asked if\u00a0it\u00a0would be\u00a0okay if\u00a0Audrey kept it\u00a0for the day since her food was already in\u00a0there, and\u00a0I said\u00a0no, they had 5\u00a0minutes to\u00a0find something else to\u00a0put her food\u00a0in, or\u00a0I would be\u00a0dumping it\u00a0out. Instead of\u00a0finding her a\u00a0closed container, they began arguing with\u00a0me, so\u00a0I stood up\u00a0and grabbed the bento box, and in\u00a0front of\u00a0all of\u00a0them, I\u00a0threw the food out into the trash can.\n\n

Grabbing my\u00a0daughter\u2019s hand, I\u00a0walked out of\u00a0the office with the bento box, leaving them to\u00a0comfort the crying girl. Hours later,\u00a0I\u00a0told my\u00a0sister what happened, and she said that even though\u00a0I had the right to\u00a0be\u00a0mad, I\u00a0could\u2019ve just let her have\u00a0it, and she would\u2019ve bought my\u00a0daughter another bento box. I\u00a0feel like it\u2019s the principle, though: why should we\u00a0have to\u00a0buy something again for my\u00a0daughter that she already had because some entitled kid wanted what\u2019s hers? Am\u00a0I\u00a0wrong?\n\n

And people defended her behavior.\n\n

  • \u201cThis kid\u2019s parents are as bad as her, if my child came home with anything I know I didn\u2019t buy her, I would be asking questions and bringing it back to the school. Not packing her food in\u00a0it!\u201d\u00a0Apart_Foundation1702\u00a0\/ Reddit\n
  • \u201cAudrey was facing absolutely zero consequences for her actions from the school. She was going to cry her way out of it. She has finally faced the consequences.\u201d\u00a0Conscious-Arm-7889\u00a0\/ Reddit\n
  • \u201cNo, you\u2019re not wrong. Audrey learned a lesson that day, and so\u00a0did the principal and teacher\u00a0\u2014 you are not one to\u00a0be\u00a0played with.\u201d\u00a0Remote-Crow3980\u00a0\/ Reddit\n
  • \u201cActions have consequences. Audrey learned a tough lesson today and will maybe make better choices in\u00a0the future.\u201d\u00a0Known_Supermarket_37\u00a0\/ Reddit\n\n\n

    Raising kids is\u00a0not easy, but there are\u00a0certain behaviors\u00a0every parent should be\u00a0aware\u00a0of. Taking responsibility for their actions is\u00a0one of\u00a0them.\n
