We don’t always take the snack because sometimes we’re going out to lunch or whatever if that’s just me. Happy to do it.
Oh and to PP mentioning orange slices, don’t if you’re last hand was 1993 but no one does orange slices anymore.
Well what do they do now, Cool Mom?
Chips, gold fish crackers, other single serve things.
I was a soccer mom in the earlier 2000's. Most teams didn't do snacks anymore, just water. Coaches discouraged team snacks. The one child with diabetes had a snack at half time or part way through practice. Anyone else managed to get through.
So in the course of a day my kids get three meals. In addition to that they might have a game where they'd get chips and a birthday party where they eat junk and then cake? No thanks! Better for them to have some water after the game and maybe a clementine.
I’ve never been a fan of post game team snack, but this is nuts. “Maybe a clementine,” do you ever allow your kids to eat snack?
OP - I didn’t like post game snack when my kids were small because my younger ones would want the same thing and would not be satisfied with whatever we brought. It would also be right before dinner which can be a challenging time for the preschool crowd to start. I also have a child with food allergies, so she wouldn’t often not get what the team had anyway. It’s easier to just not do it.
