My son in Y2 has just come out of his class eating a Haribo Maom chew bar. Whilst I am not a sweet nazi, I do restrict treats at home and don't give them to my kids often, especially avoiding the ones with loads of additives like Haribo.
When I asked the teacher why they had them, she told me it was somebody's birthday. Does it not occur to the parent of that child that not everyone will be delighted to see their children eating crappy sweets before tea time?
It happened in Y1 and in Reception too, and when I talked to the teachers about it then, they said they could make sure my son didn't get them if I wanted. ???!!! I am not going to be cruel and exclude him if the others are all having them.
Am I the only parent that wishes people wouldn't do this?
