[quote=Anonymous]My kid is on a soccer team this fall. Last spring, he was on a baseball team. With both teams, it is the same - parents are asked to share responsibility for bringing in a snack or drink (usually some sort of juice box) for the team after the game. We do a sign up sheet before the first game of the season to organize responsibility.

And, with both teams, it seems like parents with siblings (both older and younger) want their other child/ren to have said snack. With both teams, I have stayed firm on my "This is for players." (I was simply appalled when the 3rd grade child had a fit because the 1st grade sibling was getting a snack but he couldn't have some of the same.)

Last week, when I was on snack duty, I told the kids they could share the snacks with their siblings, but the snacks were for players only. Yesterday, I noticed immediately parents went up to the designated "snack parents" and said, "My younger child needs something."

Is providing for your own child suddenly out of the norm?????
