[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that are mildly annoyed about the whole post-game snack thing:  Grow up, and be a parent. If you can't snap yourself out of it then please get counseling.

This stuff is just starting.  You need decide if you are going to be a positive part of your kid's life or not.  There are at least 15 years worth of activities, sports, events, concerts, exhibitions, and ceremonies ahead of you.  Get involved and keep it fun. You may find that you make lifelong friends doing that.  You may find that you enjoy coaching, teaching, set construction, fundraising, organizing, or just plain helping out where needed. And if you don't enjoy it - fake it.  I've got an Eagle Scout and a Life Scout who think I love camping because I volunteer to go when they need more adults. I Hate it. But I love that they love it and I get to hang around so we share some experiences.  We wear lots of hats along the way but so do most parents that we know.  The kids of those parents are not perfect but on the whole the get into far less trouble than kids whose parents are not involved in what they are doing.

You don't have to be Mama Rose, but you do have to be involved and positive about their activities.  If hanging out for an extra 15 minutes after a game talking to other parents while kids run around drinking juice and eating a granola bar is too burdensome to endure then you and your kid are doomed unless you change that - quickly.
