[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coach asked me to, so shut it.[/quote]

You mean the parent? Just tell the coach to shut it. [b]End of the game you all are on your time not the coaches time.[/b][/quote]

no, the coach. i asked him specifically about this and he said do the snack.

so shut it.

(what attitude you have there in bold text. such nasty woman.)[/quote]

[b]It is my time at the end of the game.[/b] If I wish to hang out I will. If I have somewhere else i need to go I will and I do not need to be handing out snacks or waiting to get the snacks as a courtesy when I have somewhere else to be. It is rec soccer not a friggin social club.

The thing about the whole "snack thing" is that it is nice when it is a nice gesture. When things become dictated then they are no longer a nice gesture but a duty that others simply feel obliged to follow or else [b]they look like jerks.[/b] [/quote]

coz you are one, snack or not.[/quote]

And I guess you like to impose your will on others, snack or not. What does that make you? A bully?

If you want to provide snacks do it, but don't demand that it be a shared experience. [/quote]

I am the PP that is a team coordinator (and not the previous PP, by the way).  Look.  No one (at least not me, and I'm sure many other volunteer snack moms) is trying to force their will on anyone.  Rather, they THINK they are doing the team a service, because they THINK that this is what the team wants.  I really can't imagine any snack mom pitching a hissy fit if the majority of parents were to agree on not having a snack.  (And I've had 3 kids on every kind of team from rec to travel).  I'm betting that "pinterest mom" who sent out a snack signup when some other mom didn't, did so because she figured the other mom was overwhelmed and maybe didn't have the time or desire to do it.  I'm sure if pinterest mom knew that most of the parents did NOT want to participate, that this mom would not bother.  She'd just use her pinterest skills to create a nice end of year party or something, or maybe bring a fun treat every once in awhile herself if baking is her thing.  Point is, if you feel this strongly about it.....OPEN YOUR MOUTH (somewhere other than DCUM) AND SHOW THAT THE MAJORITY IS BEHIND YOU.  Otherwise, as the other PP said, it's time to shut it and be thankful you have parents trying their best (right or wrong) for the kids.[/quote]
