But, not all stories had great cooks. A user recalled how his pregnant mother was tired of his lunches. He said, “When I was 5, my mom got pregnant with my little brother. She started bleeding so was put on bed rest. I’d come home from KG & make her lunch. It was bad enough she finally got up saying if she lost the baby, she lost it…but she couldn’t take any more of my lunches.”
