Mom packs a meal for her kid when they eat out
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp
She unapologetically says that she knows her son and he wants what he wants...
We know that taking the kids out when they're young can be tricky, but as you may know when you are a parent, you kind of equip yourself for anything.
One thing about dining out as a family with younger kids is that they may not always have what the kid wants. Alternatively, they may have things that aren't quite healthy for them.
Either way, you have to prepare yourself for catering to their tastebuds or else you are guaranteed to have a horrible time.

One mother that is coming under fire on TikTok is Karlie, who goes by the name unbreakablemomma.
She shared a video that blatantly stated that she packs food for her son when they go out for dinner.
There's nothing worse than being stuck in a situation where your child is hungry and you don't have anything to give them. Which is why being prepared for anything is so important.

Not only does she share what she puts in his compartmentalised container, she also provides sound reasons as to why she does this.
She shares that her son wants to eat as soon as they get seated at the restaurant. In addition, she said that ordering him a kid's meal for $6.99 (R138) would be worthless as it would end up on the floor.
Plus he almost always eats off her plate at some point during the night.
