Do you not have anything else to do with your time? Do you secretly want to sabotage everyone else's kid? Do you want to make sure that everyone else's kid is eating junk too so you don't need to feel bad about it? I'm honestly trying to understand your reasoning and none of the things I can think of make any sense to me.
Your kid is in 5th grade you said? You don't think they can survive without junk for a few hours while they're at school? You think they'll die without a halloween party with junk food because just dressing up isn't enough?
I'm saying this in the nicest possible way, but I really think it's time for you to step back a bit from your kid's life. They will survive a day without junk food. Really. And they'll also survive a halloween without you planning out their class snack. I promise.
You are THAT mom. It's a freaking Halloween party, there should be sweets.
Nope. My kids attended a Halloween party today with NO sweets, and nobody missed it, plus they had a blast!
Well my kid attended a party with no decorations, no music, a tiny bag of UTZ pretzels and 4 grapes. No activities but two small baby games. The kids in her area were all complaining how lame it was, why aren’t there any treats like last year, and no one had a blast.

Mothers like you are intolerable. Literally intolerable.
Nasty people always say things like "Now don't take this the wrong way/I'm saying this in the nicest possible way," etc. That's cuz they know they're being ugly.

I would find it highly amusing and would by all means let this mother do whatever she wants and sink herself socially... or not.
I would not spare a second of thought for the kids. They will survive having oranges for their Halloween school party,given the amount of candy they consume all year long, and particularly on this night.

One mom dominated the entire meeting and said we should only do smart pop and oranges for the kids. I am all for healthy options, but it is Halloween. Another mom said maybe one halloween cookie and this lady shut it down. I have been thru 3 kids in up to 5th grade and have never seen an oranges as the main halloween party snack. There are no allergies.
Does anyone else ever deal with dominating moms like this? Are most schools now doing just a fruit for parties?
It is halloween and they will have PLENTY of candy anyway, no need to add more.
sure they will have plenty. but seriously you're going to give kids oranges for their halloween treat at school? that is just sad.
Our school just doesn't allow sweets period. Takes the snarkiness from moms with too much time on their hands out of the situation.

Halloween goes on for the whole month?
seriously -- we only have halloween events on the day of. The party at school and trick or treating. I mean we carve pumpkins but that doesn't require candy.
