[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else notice the snack coordinator mom is always "THAT" mom?

Stop the insanity.  The kids barely break a sweat and if they do, all the better.  They don't need to eat 200 calories of food/drink afterwards.  They need to drink water and stick to their basic meals.

We are raising kids that emotionally eat.  [/quote]

I'm the PP "snack mom".  I'm not sure what "THAT" mom means.  If you mean a mom who continues to agree to volunteer to do things that support kids, coaches and teachers, then I guess I'm "that" mom.

The coach asked if someone would step up and organize this, and I said I would.  I would never say that these kids "need" a snack, but I don't think it's such a bad thing either.  [/quote]

OP, my kid plays on a 9-11 baseball team.  Usually parents bring gatorade. The soccer players run so much during a game I am sure most of them will really appreciate the drink.

The trend lately has been for parents to just bring a big bag of snack sized Frito Lays type chips (doritos, corn chips, funyums, etc).  Those are simple and go very quickly. I think they come in 24 packs so all the siblings are covered.  We have also seen a lotnof popsickles this year too. The parents put them in a cooler with a bag of ice and they maage to stay frozen.

Ignore the posters laying on their couches surfing dcum while they sip their 500 calorie Starbucks while bemoaning giving active, fit, athletic kids who just ran an hour straight a little treat. Their point of reference is skewed since it has been so many years since they have run anywhere, let alone for an hour straight.[/quote]
