[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am happy to either bring a snack routinely for my own kid, or sign up to rotate snacks. Either is fine with me. Same amount of food either way, so it's no skin off my nose whether I do it all in one day or across a bunch of days. Happy to share with whichever kid is hungry.

What I really don't get is  get why some people are so snarky about feeding kids. They are children. We are adults[b]. We can't find a snack to  feed a hungry kid?[/b][/quote]

I don't buy that they're actually hungry. They've just come to expect getting a snack when they attend their sibling's games. Half the time they're standing around eating snacks their parents brought for them while they're watching the game. I'm all for feeding hungry kids but it goes along with the idea that the snack culture has gotten out of control. They don't need a snack to go along with every part of their day. [/quote]

Yeah, my kid is definitely hungry. If he wasn't hungry, he wouldn't eat. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "the snack culture"? IDK what that is, or why it is "out of control." But if my kid plays an hour of soccer, he needs to eat something.

If your kid isn't hungry and you don't want them to eat, don't let them have the snack? That seems easier than trying to change other people's behavior, no?[/quote]

I was referring to siblings who come to watch games and then are the first in line to receive a snack. Not the kids who just played the game.[/quote]
