[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like THAT mom is getting defensive on her THAT mom title.

I coach basketball to 7yr olds. My husband coaches travel
Softball to 14y olds. No one gets snacks. Everyone survives. Many parents personally thank us. Like another PP mention, when the goal is to eat after every darn game instead of reflecting and high fives, the whole point of the game is missed. This is emotional eating. Reward for a game is food.

And there are allergies to worry about as well. There is always a parent that forgets. It is a complete waste of time. You want your kid to sit down with a bag of pretzels and juice box and litter up the soccer field, go right ahead. It doesn't have to be a team event. [/quote]

Ok next time the soccer coach requests someone to coordinate snacks, I will lecture him about the evils of snack instead of doing what he asks.  Got it.[/quote]

Jeez, you don't have to "lecture" him. It's enough to say to him and all parents: "Can we take a poll on this? How many of you think that we need to have snack? How many of you could do without? UNLESS, of course, you, Coach, insist." I guarantee he will NOT insist.[/quote]

A majority of our parents don't speak English and the coach does.  It's hard to take a poll.  [/quote]

If they don't speak English how do they know to bring in a snack???  Isn't it just more emails they don't  understand. lol[/quote]

Just to make it clear, the majority of the parents that don't speak English also do not have email. They sign up for the team by signing up in person.  I posted the snack schedule on signup genius and only got 2 sign ups.  The rest of the time, the kid and a parent come over to me after the game, and the kid will tell me that their parent will bring the snack next week.  I am assuming the kid tells their parent about snacks.  All of these non-English speaking parents seem gung ho on the snack.  [/quote]

NP here. Interesting read.

You, THAT mom, seems to be the driving force behind the snack. So willing to overcome all obstacles. Using signup genius first, and if that doesn't generate enough interest, recruiting kids act like interpreters to tell their parents "please bring a snack" next time. Their "gung ho" attitude is your wishful thinking, I bet.[/quote]

You guys are really annoying.  The last thing I want to do is snack.  The coach asked for someone to do snack.  I didn't realize at the time that most of the parents couldn't speak English because dh does practice, and I go to the games.  I don't recruit kids.  It's not about me seriously.  You all are just making stuff up.  I have never once asked someone to bring a snack.  I would never do that.  If the coach wants snack, and no one else wants to bring it, then I bring it myself.  The coach thanks me for this.  Parents and kids come up to me without prompting and volunteer to bring snack.  What is so odd about that?  You act like I beat snack out of people or something.
