Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Was my Mom ever stict about food. I didn't resent her, I used to go all over the neighorhood and gather everyone's empty Coke bottles and take the redemption money and buy bags of candy. See it all works out just fine.

I wish I had more advise, maybe just bring hers and have her eat separately. I am going through the same thing, and not because my daughter is a vegetarian, because she is not, she is 9, but I don't want her eating the garbage the other kids are fed. Always juices or Gatorade with added high fructose corn syrup, and processed foods. My daughter may feel a bit out of place, but hey, she won't resent me forever. She will just have to live with the horrible memories of me not letting her eat too much of the trash. ) hugs, Chanda - Shelly Thursday, August 10, 2006 3:58 PM would like your viewpoints, please I have a 7 yr old veg*n who has a milk allergy and she's starting soccer this year and my question is about how to handle snacks with the rest of the team (For those who aren't familiar with kids soccer they usually have a rotating snack schedule where each family brings some fruit and an after-game snack and drink during the season.) I know I've read articles about similar situations but can't find any. Should I just arrange to always provide my daughter's snack or should I maybe discuss with the coach/other parents that we have certain preferences/needs? I am thinking that if I choose the latter, in addition to making life easier for me, it might introduce a concept to the other families that they may have never considered before. I just don't want to come across as demanding that everyone cater to us and I especially don't want to single my daughter out as " different in a bad way. " Thanks so much in advance for taking the time to help me with this Shelly Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.10.8/415 - Release 8/9/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
