Oh, How Nice Of You DCM...

[DaisyMamma]

To bring everyone juice boxes and brownies...
When its 20 degrees out with 12" of snow/ice and we can't go outside.... :confused:

[MotherNature]

I don't get it. why's that a bad thing? Is it b/c they may have excess energy they can't burn off? Mom probably didn't even think of that; she probably thought it'd be a nice thing to do. I'd be thrilled if a mom provided snacks. We don't do a lot of sweets or juice here, but once in a while it'd be nice, especially if a parent is providing them.

I would take them, then use them as our end-of-day snacks. I don't think I would want the extra energy they would provide in the morning, especially when you can't go outside. But in the afternoon, when all that extra energy can get used up in the going home transition? Bring it on!

me too!

And..I'd be sure to tell all the other parents. "It was so nice of dck's mom to bring brownies and juice boxes for snack today". ::

Brownies? Really? I'd cut them in halves, no make that into quarters, give each child a quarter and save the rest for yourself for after work.

Mmmm....juice and brownies sounds fantastic. I think I may go bake some brownies for snack.

Seriously I think possibly you're looking a gift horse in the mouth here. And cutting them into quarters doesn't sound fair.

Sometimes i think people take the "healthy snacks" thing WAY too far.

My parents regularly bring snacks and I love it. I always post a picture and a thank you on my daycare fb page. I always serve them for afternoon snack too!

[sahm1225]

I have a horrible sweet tooth and it's a running joke with my dcf to make sure if they send something that there's enough for me!

I would've had a big piece of brownie with the kids and then danced the morning away.

We eat healthy at daycare all the time so i don't see the harm in a little sugar snack every once in a while.

I think that was a really sweet thing of her to do and certainly wouldn't complain about it. We've been stuck inside a lot lately and I've done tons of extra baking, etc. just for something to do and to have some sweets/snacks in the house for the kids.

We always save the treats for birthdays/special occasions for afternoon snack though. Not because I am trying to put it on the parents, but it just seems the most logical time since they have 5+ hours till bedtime at that point.

I would thank mom for the treats and enjoy one or two myself during nap time.

[Meyou]

That sounds like a perfect end of day snack. I agree with you, silver. I'm the first one to deprive the kids of anything processed or sugary but a treat is a treat and that's ok. I bake cookies or brownies every Friday for my munchkins.

Amen! haha, I am one of those people who is pretty strict about treats and while i would profusely thank the parents, I would serve the juice and brownies (cut in half depending on size) at separate times and offer a fruit or veggie with the brownie. then save one...... or five for me in the morning with my cup of coffee

When I said cut them in quarters I was kidding!
