[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It's not that hard, but I'm not telling my friend's 2 year old they can't have goldfish that are in front of their face.  YMMV.[/quote]

Your friend should be the one telling her to-year-old that she can’t go have team snacks. Yes, 2 year olds understand. [/quote]

Sometimes the kid just toddles over while the parents are packing up.  WHO FREAKING CARES.  Some of you are insufferable.  If there's extra, they can have it.  If not, they can't.  I'm not hovering over a juice box like some crazy Nazi rationalist to prove a point.[/quote]
