Baseball Snacks for 8 year olds?

[Anonymous]

Costco box of chips/pirate's booty/ritz bitz/etc + costco pack of the tiny gatorades.

Know that every younger sibling on the planet (and some older ones too) will clammer for snacks as well and somehow it is socially expected to feed siblings as well, so I always get at least 20 snacks for a team of 11 kids.

It's dumb, but if the sign up sheet is made I pick a day and bring snacks.

Of course it's acceptable.

If your kids aren’t 19 and 21 you have no clue what 8yr olds are doing.

OK, but my kids aren't 19 and 21? What, exactly, are you trying to communicate? Were you born stupid or just dropped on your head as a baby?

Lol says the moron who brings nuts for group snacks. I can guarantee you're not in a situation where you share snacks with any other kids. So stay aggressive for no reason.

Anyone who would do this is a psychotic AH. It’s very well established and accepted that nuts for group snacks (especially for younger kids) are a non-starter.

My sons are 21 and 19 now and we always brought healthy individual sized snacks that we liked because you'll be let with whats left.

Kind bars, bags of almonds, bags of trail mix, and fig newtons. Do not bring doritos/chips.

Your kids aren't that old but nuts are pretty much out these days and have been for a long time, I also have a teenager.

Nuts are a great snack and healthy.

If your kid is allergic, deal. But I'm not denying my kids nutrition. It's not like we're all crammed on an airplane.

My kids aren’t allergic, dumb ass. But nobody does nuts anymore. You’re way out of touch.

We do nuts, sugar tits. Deal.

You strike me as the type who responds to “Happy Holidays!” with an aggressive “MERRY CHRISTMAS”

Well, I am the OP and the PP and that is exactly my point. There is zero need to bring snacks to share. It’s dumb. Don’t do it.

No, actually. I say thanks and to you, too.

Were you born wrong or just raised badly?

So tell your kid they aren’t allowed to have it. Put your money where your mouth is. Drag your kid away crying when all the other kids are having the snacks.

I was raised to not intentionally disregard the health and safety of kids to prove some weird point, “sugar tits” - is that wrong?

Yes. It's wrong. No other kids' health and safety are in jeopardy if my kids bring nuts as a snack. Get a grip, loser.

Can you read? This is about what to bring for the team as a snack. If you're bringing the team sack which is a bag full of nuts then it's a problem.

Stop doing snacks at youth sports. Jesus.

+1 My brother played little league ages 8-12. No snack bags for any teams. Ever.

Stop buying into this snacks for all everything.

While I agree with you in spirit, it’s a thing. If the coach has sent out a sign up sheet be a good parent and sign up. It’s not hard.

Un-make it a thing. That is on parents to end this cycle.

Your brother? What in the 80s? This is very much a thing for the littlest kids and then they age out of it. Just opt out if it’s not for you and your family or your kid can only eat nuts, and nothing else, and those aren’t allowed.

Interestingly, only my kid's rec baseball teams do snacks. His travel team doesn't do them.
A few weeks ago, one parent bought individual Oriental Trading Company bags for each child and put juice, chips, cookies and other stuff inside. More stuff (the bags) for the landfill, unfortunately.

Try and keep up with the times, gramps. Current medical convention is to expose kids to nuts, not hide them from them.
