[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend didn't "do" a lot of things. Her kids were fairly clueless with groups of kids. I personally try not to use snotty, pretentious phrases. If someone offered ds a soda for example, I said "he doesn't get soda."[/quote] It's kind of hilarious that I grew up drinking soda with my friends--our parents used to bring coolers full of orange Crush and Mountain Dew as part of post-soccer game snacks, but the thought of soda even being offered to a child sounds so absurd today. What would y'all do if I rolled onto a soccer field with some Coca Cola? lol, just kidding I'm not rude. Sometimes it's not just the person who says "we don't do..." but it's also the person who presumes that someone else's kid would eat/drink/play the way their kids do. If one parent offers and another says, "no thank you," don't take it as an indictment against your own parenting. Now I'm craving an Orange Crush (and it's been years!).[/quote]
