It seems so many parents these days are trying to outdo each other. Not only in snacks, like you've noticed, but in birthday parties, presents, what's in the Easter basket, etc. It goes on and on! It's no longer "keeping up with the Joneses", it's "let's beat the Joneses!" Why can't we keep things simple? Our kids don't need all this STUFF! What is it teaching them? I want my kids to appreciate the little things, to be thankful for small things, to not care what other people think or are doing or getting or have. Let's get back to the basics, here! Stand your ground! Don't be sucked into their game! Wow, that’s crazy! It seems so many parents these days are trying to outdo each other.
