Ok, but you bring what you want for your time slot and I'll bring what I want for mine. I'm tired of people policing other people's snack contributions. If you don't want your kid to have it then say no and keep it moving.

Go get some buttery popcorn from the concession stand next time. Ah, such things we do not have in this section of the park. We also do not have popcorn at our concession stand. I wish!

I mean yes of course just communicate and say what you mean but maybe that was her intention I mean probably, but also, just tell your kid no or let them eat the sugar. Don't try to have other parents cater to your wishes. And if anyone here would actually be mad if a parent brought pizza, you are dead to me.

I find them everywhere. Last year, there were younger brothers and sisters hanging around the bench and would pick the chewed ones up off the floor and eat them.* I know this is 100000000% the parent's fault and I'm at a 1.1 about actually having them banned.

I’m pretty sure the only reason my kid does sports is for the snacks. My nephew too. So many games I’ve attended where he has told me stay till the end there are good snacks 😂

This week, I dropped my little kid off at daycare without his lunch. That same day, I realized I had returned my big kid's school library book to the town library so he couldn't bring it to back school on library day. When I left the house without the little kid's lunch, my husband noticed and tried to call me. I didn't get his calls/messages because I had jokingly blocked him because he was being annoying and forgot to unblock him. Oops. I feel there is a sitcom here somewhere. Sidenote: I would be pissed my spouse blocked me. Kidding or not.

Maybe a FFFC but I wouldn't bring my kids a lunch if they forgot it. Oh well. They're older and sometimes don't eat during the school day anyway. But I don't think I ever would have. If I am working from home, I will. It is not an oh well my kids won't eat today. Mine have to eat. They are too active and need the carbs and protein lest they collapse or something. If I am not at home, I will tell them to buy lunch from the cafeteria or if need be, I would see if someone could bring them a lunch. Barring they do this type of shit all the time.

This weekend is DS1's first high school cross-country MTB meet. We are leaving this afternoon and staying overnight, tomorrow is race day all day, and we'll get home late tomorrow night. It is supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow. I don't wanna. Track and XC is so long. You got this!

I lied to DD this morning. It was a weird lie too, she asked if I ever ditched school and I couldn't see why she needed to know that ditched quite a bit as I got older. I know I should of been more honest, and explained what I lost by ditching. But i didn't have it in me this morning. Who says you have to tell them everything? Anyway, you can do that later. She's still little.

Still on team snacks? ? ? I drew my line when we were required to provide snacks for a different team. Back when my youngest was in cheer they were requiring each cheer parent to provide snacks for all of the football players after each game. Amoungst other issues we noped right out of that. I haven't done team snacks since at least 4th grade.

It's rude to let your kid call another adult's phone from your (adult) phone to ask to go spend the night at that person's house right? This isn't a UO is it? (Not family, that's different) Maybe I do not understand but it's never rude for my kid to call me.

I feel like the door to door thing isn't as common anyway, no? Like we just sell GS Cookies online and at the cookie booths. Same with popcorn when DS was in scouts. Schools around here don't even do candy/gift wrapping fundraisers anymore. They do like "Culver's Night Out" or a deal with the local pizza place where they get part of the proceeds. I have had a knock at the door for all of the above in the last few months.

The kid has their own phone, so the fact it was moms phone calling had me unprepared because I thought it was mom who is my friend, probably more of an acquaintance, calling me for something. The kid also can't take no for an answer so I think that's part of my annoyance, like you just wanted me to be the one to deal with telling your kid no instead of you. There were also no previous plans so this was out of the blue. I guess a heads up text or something would have been nice (My annoyance is at the mom allowing this, not the kid to be clear) IDK. She could have been a "yes but you need to check with Icedcoffee and see if it's ok with her....." I am still not getting rude here.

i don’t know, but DS is 13 and we have very open and honest conversations with him. Fentanyl freaks me out and so I’m ok with talking about it a lot. We are going to get him trained to use Narcan soon just in case. The world feels so different now then it did when I was his age and trying to navigate it has been challenging to find the balance of being too much and not enough. I’m sure my mom probably said the same thing, but I definitely talk about it more than she did. It’s so scary. There was just a death in my area related to fentanyl where the family made it very public (a prominent family in the tech industry) what happened in order to warn other teens and families. We had a very publicize groups of kids and I believe they were like 11 years old.

And other kids/teams being jealous? I guess I just am not considerate enough to care. I think the siblings and other team would probably pine for the ice cream just as much if not more. Regardless, I can't believe I typed so much for the most ridiculous argument ever. It is not in my ministry to give any fucks about anyone feeling a way over our team snacks. Not even a little bit. Not at all. Siblings don't always get what their siblings get when one is in an activity and the other is not. Best to learn that sooner vs later.
