The Internet is torn over this mum’s UNUSUAL lunchbox idea for her kid – ‘Poor kid!’
- Replies 19
Being a full-time parent (or grandparent) is no joke. You’re basically a doctor, cook, cleaner, teacher, and nutritionist daily… So when hard-working parents and grandparents can get extra advice, they’ll certainly lend an ear to listen!
However, what was supposedly a nifty lunchbox idea shared by a mum, went viral for all the wrong reasons… And it all boils down to the ‘unusual’ treat she packed for her three-year-old son.
The mum-of-two, who is known as @muddlethroughmummy on TikTok, shared a video to show what she was packing for her toddler’s lunchbox.
In the now-viral clip, she can be heard saying: ‘He’s getting a cheese stick and then in the protein section, he’s getting two of these homemade protein balls.’
‘Now, I am no Pinterest mum… But I can just about stretch to heart-shaped strawberries along with blueberries for a bit of variety. Then, raisins in the treat section.’
The savvy mum then cuts the cucumber slices with a star-shaped cookie cutter to remove the middle, before inserting a star-shaped carrot in the centre.

‘Yes, this is a little bit extra, but I’m going to be using these cookie cutters that I bought from Amazon. I don’t know what you call them but they look cool!’
‘Cookie cutters are such a simple way to make lunch boxes more interesting and this heart shape is the perfect size for his strawberry jam sandwich.’
The post has received over 725,000 views and 200 comments. However, one snack caused a stir among TikTok users, with the majority of them asking how raisins are considered a ‘treat’.
‘Raisins as a treat? That poor kid,’ one wrote.

‘You are feeding your child rabbit food.’ another criticised.
‘Strawberries are a better treat than raisins!’ a third recommended, while a fourth chimed: ‘I would be so sad if my mum gave me raisins as a treat.’
‘Maybe you can dip the raisins in chocolate to make them taste better. That would be perfect!’ one more suggested.
In response, the thrifty mum defended herself, explaining: ‘Just to clarify, I said “raisins in the treat section”.’ This implies that she doesn’t consider it as a treat, but only placed the snacks in the treat section of the lunch box.
