Mom hits out at teacher for shaming her daughter’s eating habits

Mom's note to critical teacher

A mom recently went viral when they lashed out at a teacher who criticized her daughter’s way of eating lunch. 

In a TikTok video that’s since gone viral, a mom clapped back at a teacher for telling her how to eat. The three-year-old told her mom that the teacher said she needed to eat non-dessert food first. This clearly angered the mom, who contended that her child could eat her food in any order she liked. 

“Here’s the story: My three-year-old came home from school yesterday, telling me that her teacher told her that she had to eat all of her ‘good’ foods before she ate her ‘bad’ foods. She couldn’t have her cookie before eating her sandwich and cucumbers,” she writes. 

“I am so proud that she had sensed something was off — to know that was not right enough to tell me about it. We talk about it all the time at home… If you only eat carrots and broccoli your body won’t have enough protein it needs to grow strong muscles. If you only eat chicken, your body won’t have enough energy to do things like run and play all day long.”

Mom claps back at critical teacher

In order to get revenge, she decided to attach a note to her child’s lunchbox so that the teacher could read it that day. 

As we can see from the video, the note reads: “Hi! Evelyn has our permission to eat lunch in any order she chooses. None of her foods are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ — they are just food! Thanks! Caroline and Joey.”

Whether you side with the parent or teacher, the video has certainly caused a stir, however, TikTokers are unable to debate the video on the platform as the comments are switched off.

Another mom went viral, when they filmed their daughter’s hilarious rant after they were picked up late from school.
