A mom of two took to TikTok to express her frustration over being βsnack shamedβ by her sonβs preschool and that was only the beginning. In a video thatβs since been made private, Megan shares that she sent a container of Pringles chips in her three-year-oldβs lunch, but the empty pack came back with a note she calls βpassive aggressive.β It reads, βPlease help us make healthy choices at school.β
In the clip, Megan says she doesnβt label food using words like βhealthyβ and βunhealthyβ because she says βthat starts eating disorders.β She then posted a follow-up video, updating viewers in whatβs now known as βPringle Gate.β She says that when she dropped her son off at school, she saw his teacher and initiated a conversation and expressed how disappointed she was with the way they handled the situation.
But instead of apologizing or taking responsibility, the teacher said Megan was actually the one being passive-aggressive because when they first enrolled at the school, a note was sent home about packing βhealthyβ foods for kids. The mom says she got it, but she didnβt think she was packing unhealthy lunches at all. At the end of their talk, the teacher said the school no longer has a spot for her son in their summer program, which Megan says was βdisrespectful and unsettling.β So she immediately unenrolled her son from the preschool.
