to be planning a letter of complaint to the PTFA for poisoning my children at the Christmas fair?

[Mincepiedermama]

Why does it have to be so packed with sugar? After the fair at the juniors my nearly three year old was sick several times in the night because someone gave him those disgusting sugar walking sticks.

At the Infants fair yesterday I gave my kids pocket money and sent them off browsing reminding them about the sugar poisoning incident so ds3 decided to go for the lucky dip. He pulled out a handbag which I thought was great. I later discovered it was FULL of lollies FGS!

I can;'t watch them all every minute of the Christmas Fair because it's one of the places they should be given freedom to roam. Also I was running a stall.

I love school fairs but the sugar thing really ruins them for me and poisons my kids. Why are people so obsessed with sugar for kids?

I have many years to go at these schools so am thinking of writing or talking to the PTFA people about capping the amount of sugar available at these events. Is that reasonable?

Now if you'll excuse me I have to put some more vomitty bedding in the washing machine.

Can't hear you as have popped off to stir the quinoa.

WHAT MESSAGE?

answer a question spidermama

what message are you trying to get across?

what are people denying?

That's 'keen-wah' to you.

maybe, spidermama, a thread entitled

'the hidden dangers of sugar' or 'why i believe sugar is an uncecessary evil', without naem calling and smugness would have been a far better way to get the point across

Mincepiedermama.
Keep watch over your children, there are worse things at school fayres than sugar.
Like open doors that lead to roads.

Don't forget Diwali sweet Camilla

there is of course an pbvious solution, one I employed when the ds's did win (they didnt go near the wsweet stall proper) too much in the way of sugary crap

Its called the bin.

i eat quinoa

covered with sugar and maple syrup

Am I the only onenot convinced by this thread?

What the fuck is a mulled snowman?

The ones who write the letters to the PA at our school are the ones who complain when we cant afford to put on events or buy equipment they consider necessary

breast milk has natural sugars in it

ROFL @ greeny's mulled snowman confusion

When a child, a mulled snowman is a glass of vaguely cinnamony water with a few bits of orange bunged in for effect and some ragged wool from a cooked scarf hanging out

It is poison. It caused my children to be ill. I didn't say 'deadly poison'. I said 'poison' and if you look it up in the dictionary (or in the link I provided earlier) you will see I used the word correctly.

Lines up for the Not Entirely Convinced Either register.

doodle seems to have a 'helping out at christmas fair' agenda recently

the thing that caused your 3 year old to puke was lack of supervision IMHO

too stoned on sugar to be convinced....anyone want a wine gum

'Loath' Doodle? That's a very strong word. Poor you.
