[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If siblings are helping themselves first that’s on the parents. Come on. Of course if there are leftovers anyone who’s there should be allowed to have some - not every kid brings a sibling. Let’s be real. [b] but it’s not that big of a deal to give five extra bags of goldfish or whatever. [/b]They should not go first.[/quote]

How do you know it’s not a big deal? Food insecurity is a real thing, even in th suburbs. Those extra 5 bags of goldfish would be their own child’s snack for a week of school lunches. Those 5 goldfish might be a snack for their own child after other activities.

I real.h don’t understand the current “siblings are one human” mentality, where siblings must somehow always exist as one being - going to the same birthday parties, no matter how age inappropriate, and now sharing snacks meant for the children engaging in a specific activity.

It is on the parents. Is it really that hard to tell your other child that the snacks are for the players only, and to hand them a snack that you have brought for exactly that reason? Or to tell your child they don’t need a snack, considering all they’ve done is sit and watch?

This board is so hilarious.. leave a baby to CIO at a few months old, and argue about “being a parent”, but throwing a fit about unhelpful other par nets if 8 year old Larla doesn’t get a bag of goldfish at their sisters soccer game. [/quote]
Amen! I love this post so much![/quote]
