Mum rages after entitled parent confronts her about child's 'gross' packed lunch
A woman has been left outraged after an "entitled parent" cornered her in the playground to complain about her daughter's packed lunch. The 38-year-old explained how she regularly cooks Asian food for dinner - and ends up plating the leftovers up for her daughter to take to school the following day.
When there isn't any leftovers, she makes up a quick and easy bento box, with her favourite Japanese foods inside. Taking to Reddit, she said: "I cook Asian foods regularly for dinner and for my daughter, Lily’s* lunches at school. This is because my family enjoys these foods, I like to cook these foods, and my mum cooked a bunch of these foods growing up since she’s half Japanese."
But when she went to collect her seven-year-old from school one day, the mum was confronted by another parent on the playground about her daughter's packed lunches. She added: "While I was waiting, Debra came up to me and said 'Are you Lily's mother?'. I said, 'Oh, yeah, I am, why?'. Then she said, 'Well, your daughter’s lunches have been bothering my son, and I would like to ask you to pack something else'.
"She then proceeded to start talking about how her son was complaining about my daughter's lunches smelling terrible, and that he thought it was disgusting. She also said her son didn’t eat most of his lunch because he was so grossed out." Annoyed, the mum asked why her son can't sit elsewhere in the school cafeteria if he doesn't like the smell of Asian food.
In response, Debra said: "Are you kidding me? My son shouldn’t have to put up with whatever crap you make your daughter bring to this school. It’s disgusting!" Not backing down, the woman snapped back: "Listen, I understand your son might not like my daughters food, but he can very easily just not sit next to her. I’m not changing what’s in my daughter's lunches because you and your kid don’t want to exist near Asian food. F*** off."

But now she has been left wondering whether she was too harsh on the parent - and has potentially started 'war' with her. She added: "She angrily stomped off with her kid then, and my daughter finished playing soon after, so we went home. I talked to my husband about it, and he said that maybe I shouldn’t have told her to f*** off, to avoid her bothering us in the future."
Commenting on her post, one user said: "Though I will admit your husband could have a point as it is a possibility this is not the end of this conflict. If your child brings up anything about the other lady’s kid bullying her or anything, act on it quickly."
Another user added: "That woman 100 per cent earned the f*** off. We need to start telling more people to f*** off when they think that they should be able to tailor their experience of the world by controlling what other people are doing."
A third user said: "She was openly racist and aggressive, she gets what she gives. I would contact the school and your kids teacher and let them know, at point I think the Debra son is sitting near your daughter cause he likes bullying her about her lunch. Maybe a teacher intervention could prevent further harassment."
