[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has done 2 seasons of soccer and 3 of little league. Why on earth do they force us to bring snacks for the entire team on a rotating basis? I'd rather just bring my kid's own snack to each game. I have had to deal with parents saying nasty things about what I've brought (which is no different than what other parents have brought). [b]Kids who have allergies yet still won't eat what I've brought even though I've bent over backwards for their allergies.[/b] I even seen a parent go ape crazy on his child when I gave the kid an extra snack. Then there are games with nothing is brought for the team.  Really... is all this drama necessary? Why can't I just bring my own snack and drink for my child to each game and be done with it?

Lots of kids with allergies are taught never to take food from other people or share in a group snack.  There's no way you would be able to figure out what is safe for each of them to eat or not - so while it was great that you avoided the allergan in order to avoid a contact allergy from someone else eating it near them, please don't be mad because the kid didn't eat your snack.   An innocent error could kill an allergic kid.  Cut them some slack.
