Mum's time-saving school lunch hack branded as lazy

<p>A mum has left parents divided after revealing her lunchbox hack to save time making her children’s school sandwiches.</p> <p>Taking to Facebook, she shared that she makes 40 sandwiches at once and freezes them before taking them out when needed.</p> <p>She asked for advice on the best way to freeze them, saying preparing two weeks worth of sandwiches at once saved her time in the long run.</p> <p>She wrote: "The kids take them out in the morning and put them in their sandwich boxes and the sandwich bag goes back into the freezer ready to be used again (to stay environmentally friendly and cost-effective)."</p> <p>The lunch is made up of ham, cream cheese, plum jam and Vegemite to “keep it simple”.</p> <p>Although many parents praised her for the hack and said they’re planning to try it out themselves, others branded it “lazy” and said the sandwiches would be “tasteless” by the time they came out of the freezer.</p> <p>One commented: "I wouldn't want to eat a frozen sandwich so wouldn't make one for my kids. It takes a minute to make a sandwich."</p> <p>Another wrote: "My mum used to make frozen peanut butter sandwiches when I was a kid so I will admit now those sandwiches were binned every day at school."</p> <p>But others defended her method, arguing that as long as the sandwiches were thawed out for a few hours before they were eaten, they wouldn't taste any different.</p> <p>They also added that the tactic clearly works for the mum and the negative remarks were “uncalled for”.</p>

Driver’s angry note goes viral: “Laziness is not a disability”

<p>It is becoming more commonplace for people to leave passive-aggressive notes to strangers, calling them out for behaviour they deem unacceptable.</p> <p>However, one mum has shared her fury after she returned to her parked vehicle after visiting the doctor to find a note accusing her of wrongly parking in a disabled spot.</p> <p>Emma Gearing took a photo of the brutal note and shared it on social media.</p> <p>“Laziness is not a disability,” the note reads.</p> <p>“Using a disabled badge when you don’t need it could cost you £2,000 and permanent removal of the badge. Don’t take your good health for granted.”</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Femma.j.flood%2Fposts%2F10155484620691735&amp;width=500" width="500" height="740" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe></p> <p>The 26-year-old mum slammed the author of the message for being “heartless”.</p> <p>She explained that her son, Reggie, has several medical conditions and needs to be fed through a peg inserted into his stomach.</p> <p>“I think it is disgusting how people can judge too quickly,” she wrote. “Pushchair, walking, wheelchair whatever is used you should never ever judge anyone! </p> <p>"I feel so sorry for anyone who has gone through this themselves.”</p> <p>She said that medical disabilities are “not always obvious” and that she hopes the culprit will see the post and learn not to carelessly assume things about other people.</p> <p>Emma, who hopes her post will go viral to raise awareness about unseen disabilities, has had her post shared over 150 times.</p>
