[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of disordered eating kids being raised.  Sometimes a snack is ok.[/quote]

Of course snacks are OK sometimes. But not all the time. Snack culture has taken over. My kids do great without snacks, snacks, snacks. I’ve even had kids over for play dates who *just* had lunch before they were dropped off ask for snacks, snacks, snacks because they are so used to being handed a snack every five seconds. [/quote]

Snack culture is ridiculous at this point.

[b]A school culture that relies on 30 busy professional parents to buy one $7.00 item each instead of just collecting $210 at the beginning of the year [/b]so the teacher can provide snacks is incredibly inefficient.[/quote]

+1. I’m not sure if we should be saying “oh why aren’t dads willing to sign up” or think “oh, they realize the cost/benefit of their time and the inefficiency of the process, maybe more moms like myself should look at it this way”.

Not only that but there have been signups where things have to go together so someone signed up for say jam but no one signed up for the bread to put the jam on so you are there at the 11th hour looking at the sign up in a game of chicken of who will add another item and run out at the last minute so they have both bread AND jam.  At a certain point I said no more, and will only give money unless I know we will be at Costco already and it can be purchased there, I don’t need to take time off from work and it’s clears where to drop off the item.
