Sugary Treats Galore
Then she opened the bag, and I saw a pile of hard candies.
The day before, she had left with a lollipop.
I understand giving them an ice cream pop--it's hot and humid, kids are running around, and it is the summer. But it seems to me that my kids are being showered with sweets everywhere they go--at camp, at school, at extracurricular activities even. My 10-year-old daughter Emily gets a sucking candy from her piano teacher at the end of every lesson. Of course, she is an absolute sweet hound and is constantly angling for more sweets.
However, I am reluctant to call the camp to complain. I don't want to be one of those meddling moms who is overly involved in the details. I know that giving my daughter candy two days in a row is not such a big deal (the fact is my daughter ate only one of the candies, then was happily sharing them with her sister and her sister's friend.)
But....I see it as part of a larger problem, which, of course, isn't the camp's fault.
Stumble It!
