So I'm not on the food program for financial and allergy reasons (DD) and parents are responsible for bringing their child breakfast (if they come before 8) and also lunch. I always fill out daily sheets for kids and made sure to not only write that dcb (14 mo) needed lunch items (she generally brings a few things and leaves it here so he has choices) but I also told her at pick up probably 3 times yesterday. This is my one family that I was having trouble with her bringing him at 9 in his pjs and hungry, just woken up. Today she did great, bringing him dressed and ready for the day (despite a wet diaper that had soaked through his shorts) and it was before the breakfast cut off. I immediately asked if she brought his lunch and she quickly said she would bring it on her way to work. She works at a salon and doesnt have to be there until 10. Shes also that dcm who stands here at pick up and drop off for 10-15 minutes just talking to dcb or showing me his tricks, idk what her issue is.
So I figure by 9:45 she would be here with his food. We went about our morning. Circle time, outside time, choice time. Lunch starts at 10:40 because we do an early nap at 11:20. Well she never came back with his food!!! No message, no call, no show, no food. HUNGRY BABY. I was so irritated. I'm in a financial crisis atm and haven't really been eating much myself because I've been struggling to feed my daughter. I have NO spare food in the house. I had to dig through my freezer and find a Healthy Choice microwavable meal to give to him. Probably the only thing I could have made myself for dinner. He tore it up (normally he hates everything she packs him) so that was a plus. But I'm so freaking irritated. I just sent her a message saying "don't worry about bringing K's food. I fed him my lunch. Everyone is going down for naps." Still haven't gotten a reply. What I wanted to say was "Uh thanks for showing up and bringing your child food to eat. I had to give him the only thing left in my fridge that I could eat."
I'll be telling her at pick-up, next time he gets dropped off without food I won't accept him until she bring him AND the food at the same time. So ridiculous.

Hope things turn around fast for you! When things were tight for me my kids got no "junk snacks" like chips, cheez-its etc. They only got things like apples or bananas with peanut butter. About the same price and much more filling!
: will wait
