So my sister bought my daughter (6-years-old) a bento box that cost 50 dollars. Thursday after school, my daughter came home, and while unpacking her backpack like I usually do, I noticed that her bento box was not in there. When I asked her where it was, she stated that a girl in her class named Audrey (fake name) had taken it and refused to give it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked if she went to her teacher, and she said yes, but her teacher told her that it was just a lunchbox, and it shouldn\u2019t matter. Now, Audrey\u2019s name isn\u2019t new to my household; she and other girls always picked on my daughter, and no matter how many times I went to the school about it, nothing was done. To say I was furious was the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day, I went to the school 30 minutes before lunchtime and requested a meeting with the teacher and the principal. They brought my daughter down, and I explained the situation, and they had someone get Audrey.Audrey brought the lunchbox to \u201cprove\u201d that it was hers, but I asked them to open the lunch box because my daughter\u2019s name was inside, and long behold, when she opened it, there was my daughter\u2019s name as clear as day. When I requested she gives it back to my daughter, she began crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teacher asked if it would be okay if Audrey kept it for the day since her food was already in there, and I said no, they had 5 minutes to find something else to put her food in, or I would be dumping it out. Instead of finding her a closed container, they began arguing with me, so I stood up and grabbed the bento box, and in front of all of them, I threw the food out into the trash can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grabbing my daughter\u2019s hand, I walked out of the office with the bento box, leaving them to comfort the crying girl. Hours later, I told my sister what happened, and she said that even though I had the right to be mad, I could\u2019ve just let her have it, and she would\u2019ve bought my daughter another bento box. I feel like it\u2019s the principle, though: why should we have to buy something again for my daughter that she already had because some entitled kid wanted what\u2019s hers? Am I wrong?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way, Audrey can afford her own bento box. We live in a fairly high class neighborhood, that\u2019s all I\u2019m going to say. She took my daughter bento because she\u2019s a bully. Moreover, my daughter will be switching schools at the end of the semester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
