NP but the PP is NOT exaggerating. There seems to be a snack sign-up for every daggone activity my kid does. And then if you don't sign up the snack mom keeps bugging you until you agree to bring the damn goldfish and juice boxes. It's ridiculous. Every kid has to bring in treats for their birthday, every parade has candy, every holiday has candy. We take all our kids' candy and keep it in a candy jar at home so we can dole it out a couple pieces at a time. That jar hasn't been empty in years.[/quote]

Even when they try to mitigate the damage by requesting healthy snacks, many parents still send in the sugary junk.  I'm not sure whether they're trying to be the "cool mom" or whether they fundamentally don't understand what a healthy snack is.  When my kid was in K and we had group snacks, a few parents always sent in cookies.  It wasn't even 1 or 2 cookies.  They would send in the individually wrapped stack of 6 oreos.  No kindergartener needs a snack of 6 oreos.  [/quote]

Send in your own snacks and problem solved.  People choose it because its easy.  We've always had either the school provider or no snacks.  This is the first year we've had snacks after multiple years in elementary school and parents send in their own.[/quote]
