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.

As you can tell from earlier acronyms aren't my thing but i'm guessing it's You are being a total fucking arse?

Am I being really stupid here? I can't work out why Mincepiedermama is calling everyone disillusioned - disillusioned.
No-one has been disillusioned, has they? Does she mean deluded?

Nearly LeDodgy, only I am a laydee and therefore only say flipping (in public).

may I just slightly reword the OP

"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 ."

I'm pretty sodding disillusioned, Kathy, I thought I had a PhD in biochemistry

Good work.

and I'd still say, 'Why didn't you take it off him, if you didn't want him to eat it?'

Fair enough, your child, your rules.

But unreasonable to expect everyone to follow the same rules are you.

SM, you don't have a leg to stand on, you know.

Want one of these to help you out?

Poor baby

Phd, shmeHD Tamum!

is it a full moon tonight?

because clearly you are barking.

We ate too much sugar. A whole teaspoon in our tea. No full moon needed.

Lol at shmeHD

oh Hunker LOL at baby pic

It's not a joke, Twig - honestly, that poor baby was forcefed candy canes until it turned into one. You know, like one's mother warns one when one is little and wants to eat one's own body weight in cake?

hose candy canes must have been this big

That and other amzing shitola can be found at sky mall. BIL left us a catalogue. Full of shit you never, ever , needed!

But strangly addictive

yay, I've managed to find the perfect Christmas present for Spidey AND Hunker

brace yerself...

the op should probably be re_worded to:
AIBU in looking for someone else to blame because I have been clearing up lots of sick due to my negligence

Greeny!

< Wiping projectile vomit off screen >

Thanks so much Greeny.

oH, LORD! yOU ATE A CANDY CANE TOO???

Am confused

Was the sugar actually contaminated or are you objecting to the fact that there was sugar there at all?

Dunno really, it does piss me off, this idea that Christmas (/birthdays/fridays/etc) isn't complete without a hit of azo dyes and pure sugar.

Realisticaly though, the PTA aren't going to take this on board so you need to get involved or follow them round. I don't let my kids wander round such things unsupervised, because I am a food fascist.
