A MUM has admitted to sending her child to school with 'the worst packed lunch' ever – and we have to agree she might be onto something.
The embarrassed woman confessed what she had done on Mumsnet's famous AIBU board.
"I told DS [dear son] he had pasta salad for lunch," she said. "This evening he asked why we’d given him “funny mashed potato” instead.
"Turns out the pasta salad was still in the fridge and he’d been eating a tub full of fat I’d saved for the birds.
"Has anyone sent their child to school with anything worse or our we officially the worst parents on Mumsnet?"
People were in hysterics. "How much of it did he eat?!" asked one woman.
"You're not bad parents at all, it was a mistake. Now, had you intentionally sent him to school with fat ball mix, that would be a different story," added another.
And other parents confessed they too had made similar blunders.

"We sent our son to school with a tub of margarine once," said one woman.
"My brother once opened his lunchbox at school to find therein a banana that was past its best covered in biscuit crumbs.
There was no excuse for this other than my mum was a very very busy woman, and a bit scatty.
"Brother was only very little at the time so a banana and a few biscuits might have (just about) been an adequate lunch as a one-off. But the biscuits didn’t survive the journey being swung about by a 5 year-old, so a crumb-coated banana was lunch that day."
Another said: "I had a bit of a rep for sending my kids to school with sandwiches made from mouldy bread."
Still, no harm done!
