[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a team snack mom too, and I organize snack because the coach requests it. Then when no one else volunteers, I step up.  Why don't you step up to help the coach instead of complaining about those of us that do?

Oh yeah, what I should do instead is lecture the coach about how we should not be doing snack even though the coach has volunteered many hours of his/her free time to coach the team.  If the coach wants snack, then I am going to make it happen. Too bad if you don't like it.  You can take your dd back home for kelp and fruit.  [/quote]

You are delusional! Couch does not want snack because without it he cannot talk to his team for 15 minutes after the game. He could not care less. Coach asks for some parent (usually THAT mother) to just take care of "snacks" so he doesn't have to deal with this BS. It is the UBER-parents who came up with the snack idea and who continue to expect it.

You don't have to lecture the coach. You should say "no, no need" and believe me, you would be gladly joined by other parents.

To the

Are you on my team?  Do you personally know  my coach?  My coach sent out an email and asked for a mom to organize snacks.  Why is this such a big problem for you if the kids have a snack after the game?  If the coach did not want snack, he would have said, the girls don't need a snack, so no need for a snack mom wouldn't he?  What is your problem?[/quote]

Did you read my post carefully? It is not that he does not want snack. HE DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT. He sends the same email to all parents season after season because it has become a norm without any real justification. [/quote]

Well my coach was happy that there was snack.  Like I said, you don't know my coach, so can you quit swearing at me on the internet?  Are you always this angry about stuff?  Have you had an anger management class?  [/quote]

Again, you are wrong. You "coach was happy" that he found THAT mother. "Pheww, one less BS to worry about."[/quote]

To the PP, not all coaches are alike. Most coaches my kids have played for don't like snack. After a certain age, it seems babyish. DS is on a team now where the coach really wants something small to eat right after the game. He firmly believes kids need fuel immediately after a workout. This coach asked me to coordinate snacks this season. I informally asked the other parents, and they really don't want snack. I went back to the coach and explained the parents prefer the kids to not have a snack. [b]He said he wanted something small after every game and parents could tell their kid not to eat it if they objected.[/b] Knowing the other parents feelings, I now bring drinks and a small snack to every game. One mom was very rude to me recently - said out loud I don't know why you need a snack this will ruin your dinner. Ugh, just don't have your kid eat it if you don't want it. It's so ride to comment on other people eating.

My kid is starving after a game. They have to get there an hour early for warm ups and the game is two hours long. With drive time, it's almost four hours from when we leave until we return. As a growing young man, he wants and eats what I bring. The other kids also eat the snack. It's not the kids who don't want the snack, it's their parents. [/quote]

Well duh, of course the kids want the snack.  What kids don't want snacks?  NONE!  It is the parent's job to say we don't want the snacks.  You asked all the parents, they said they didn't want them.  The coach still did and somehow you felt obligated to bring them weekly?  And the parents are obviously ticked off because you asked for their opinion, they told you and you still bring snacks.  Get a backbone lady!!  The coach went to you because you were the easy target.  Tell him the parents don't want it and he, as the coach, can discuss it with them.  It is not your job/problem.  The moms can all bring their own snack IF they want their kid to have it.  No need for a coach or a snack mom to force this issue.

And all of this drama above is just another reason why there should be no snacks. [/quote]
