Back-to-School Blues: Parent Shows Januworry Fridge With Labelled Food for Kid

• With Januworry still in our midst, a local woman resorted to labelling food in the fridge
• She labelled certain foods in aid of her child, who would be starting school on Wednesday, 15 January
• A few social media users laughed at the woman's actions, while some felt they could relate to her struggles

Januworry has a way of making people 'borrow' things that don't necessarily belong to them, especially when it comes to food. Not taking any chances, one woman hilariously showed how she resorted to labelling a few fridge items for her little one.

Do not touch the items

TikTok user Zime Shandu, who uses the handle @zimeshandu on the app, shared a video showing how she had to label certain items in the fridge to warn others in the house that they belonged to the children.

With school starting soon, in the middle of Januworry, Zime's labelled school food 'essentials' included a tub of butter, cheese, eggs, and a loaf of bread.

For Zime's sake, hopefully, the items will last until Wednesday.

Some social media users went to the comment section to share laughter, while others were relieved they didn't relate to Zime's situation.

@tee_dlamuka1 told the online community:

"I feel so blessed right now knowing I don't have to worry about anyone eating my son's stuff."

@ms_boothelezi humorously wrote in the comments:

"I'm not ready for this. My brother eats everything he sees in the fridge. Everything is still inside the Checkers plastic bag. I'm even scared to unpack."
