A mother-of-three has posted a rant, begging parents to ‘lower lunchbox standards’ after she spent ‘hours’ packing her son’s food for school.
Laura Mazza, a blogger who runs Mum On The Run, hit back at parents for sending their children to school with fancy meals and edible artworks.
‘I have spent 3 hours nay more, looking up bento boxes, protein to carbohydrate to sugar ratios for those little compartments and how to make the food look like a happy koala in a tree… to prove to my child he is not unloved,’ she wrote on Facebook.

‘Who started this bulls**t? Who set the standard like this? Stop it. Stop it,’ she added.
‘Because of you I have to cut a sandwich into a turtle, make pretzels from scratch and make an organic, double choc chip muffin that’s hidden with vegetables and mixed in with fairy tears with a side of bliss balls ladened with my kidneys.’
Laura went on to say that increasing traditional lunch standards adds pressure and ‘complicates parenthood.’

‘There’s no going back, this is it now. I got mini packets of chips IF I WAS LUCKY and LCM BARS WERE A LUXURY,’ she wrote.
‘Now I have spent my weeks wages on cooking utensils, character cookie cutters and I am harvesting rice on the full moon and rubbing organic ocean fruit on home grown cane sugar balls to make fricken LCM bars.’
Laura told her fans that she will continue to create fancy lunchboxes for her son but said the standards need to be lowered.
