Perfect thermos, imperfect teenager - a love story that lasted exactly one day
I bought this adorable pink soup thermos thinking I was being the world's most thoughtful mom. "My daughter will love having hot soup for lunch!" I thought. "She'll be so grateful for warm, nutritious meals!" I was so naive.The thermos itself is fantastic - keeps food hot for hours, easy to clean, cute color. I tested it with mac and cheese and it was still steaming at lunchtime. Perfect! My teenager used it exactly once. ONCE.Apparently, carrying an extra container is "too much work" and she'd rather "just eat PB&J" than deal with the inconvenience of... bringing a thermos. The same kid who carries 47 lip glosses, 3 phone chargers, and a collection of hair ties she'll never use in her backpack suddenly can't handle one more item.I thought maybe she was bored with mac and cheese, so I offered to make different kinds of hot foods. Nope. The issue isn't the food - it's the audacity of expecting her to transport liquid food in a separate container. Apparently, I've asked too much of her delicate teenage ecosystem.So now I have a perfectly good thermos that sits in my cabinet, mocking my parental optimism. Meanwhile, my daughter continues to survive on whatever fits in a plastic baggie because carrying a thermos is apparently more effort than slowly starving.Would I recommend? Yes, but only if your teenager hasn't reached peak "I can't be bothered" levels yet. The thermos works great - teenage motivation is sold separately.Ver másVer menos
