[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't want your kid to eat a snack that someone has donated, just say no thank you. The kid will not melt, even if he has allergies.[/quote]

Maybe. But cupcakes are hard to replicate at a soccer game. It's one thing to have to avoid the temptation at a birthday party. But at an athletic event that occurs weekly?[/quote]

That's your issue to deal with, not the person donating the snack.  [/quote]

Not really. There's a social contract involved in being part of a group. Otherwise it's a race to the bottom. I'd also be pissed if she passed out switchblades or cigarettes. [/quote]

Looks like many people aren't recognizing this 'social contract'.  Can't have a 'contract' if the other party doesn't agree.

What's up with puttying cupcakes in the same category as switchblades and cigarettes?  Seriously?  Have you ever really listened to yourself?

BTW - my DD is planning the decorations for the cupcakes we're bringing on Saturday.  Looks like neon food coloring may be one of her choices!  But, I always leave at least 2 cupcakes unfrosted.  Not because parents don't approve of neon but because some kids don't like frosting.  I'm just considerate that way.[/quote]

Always?  How often do you bring cupcakes to soccer games?  Yeesh. [/quote]

Every time it's my turn to bring snack - I've got three kids so it's a lot of cupcakes.[/quote]

But why?  Isn't the soccer part enough to entertain your kids?  And you not only bring cupcakes but you have them decorate them?  It's like you are trying to grab attention or something.  It's a soccer game, not a birthday party.  [/quote]
