[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are serious? This is a thing? My kids haven't been on teams that had post-game snacks since they were 8 or 9. This can't be real. [/quote]

Seriously. I think it's ridiculous that we still do this for my 11 year old's games. [b]Snacking in the US is out of control. [/b]They also think they need a gatorade or something after every game, as if they ran a marathon.[/quote]

My kids are preschoolers and I'm unfortunately not kidding when I tell you that you can't sign up for a one hour kids' craft class around here without "don't forget to bring a snack for the snack break!". Without even any physical activity. It's outrageous. Pretty sure the rest of the kids there can survive an entire hour without eating, as can mine. When we raise eyebrows, we simply get "oh it can be healthy! bring fruit!" as if it makes it better.

I'm so shocked to hear that the madness continues into college. Maybe it makes the parents feel important, as a way to extend the helicopter parenting into adulthood.[/quote]
