Give kids treats without consulting their parents first? DD is still on her no dairy diet (until tomorrow when we meet with the specialists) and when DW picked her up from school, she had frosting on her mouth and her teacher said she had a cupcake. Not a big problem normally but since there is probably milk in the cake and milk and butter in the frosting it's an issue. The school was informed of her diet when she first started so the teacher should be aware.I've never understood why schools give kids that kind of stuff without letting the parents know there are going to be treats first.I remember as a kid that my teachers would send a note home saying that there was going to be a birthday in class the next day and that we would be having cake/cupcakes. Now it seems that every week there is a birthday and parents don't have a choice in saying whether or not their kid gobbles down tons of sugar because they are never informed. Last year when DD was in preschool we had to talk to her teacher a few times and let her know that a cupcake was ok along with a juicebox but that we weren't ok with the bag of candy being opened and eaten. I think the same thing is going to happen this year.Kids can't and won't limit themselves with that kind of stuff.
