Mom Discovers Her Son Is Embarrassed By His Lunch

Mother of three Kimberly Church recently realized her fourth-grader was “embarrassed” by his lunch…because she put his chips in a Ziploc bag. “If I’m gonna send a snack, it needs to be in, like, one of those individual single-serving bags,” she explained. Commenters on Church’s TikTok video revealed other complaints mothers have had from their kids. “My son told me yogurt is embarrassing, like what? Why,” one viewer asked. Carl E. Pickhardle, Ph D., says teenagers can be easily embarrassed because they don’t want to act “too old” or “too young.” Eating chips out of a Ziploc may appear to be something a “younger” child would do. Teens and tweens are more sensitive about violating the norms of their friend groups. (Upworthy)
