[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 357665, member: 3493"] In the school my daughter went to for K, all of the other mommies baked. I was ashamed and humiliated to bring in store cookies but the kids loved them. In her later schools, it was more mixed and I didn't feel badly about my store bought cookies. As for the allergies, there is one boy in my son's grade who has severe peanut allergies. He is a vicious child, a bully who delights in tormenting others, but his mom is rich and donates much to our public school (need i say more)- even my daughter, who volunteered at the school while she was in HS, couldn't stand him. One year, my son begged me to bake peanut butter cookies to bring in for his birthday. I despise peanut butter and the smell nauseates me so I questioned him on why he would want this. He was in first grade at the time and said "I could give one to meanboy and then he'd never be in school again to bother anybody." Needless to say, my son did NOT bring in peanut butter cookies. and we had a long talk about this. Even now, going into middle school, he still fantasizes about offering meanboy a Reese's cup. Over the next years, at least 6 other parents have told me that their kids also tried to get peanut butter snacks sent in to serve to this boy. I could never bear it if my snack was responsible for a child being hurt - even that child! So I buy storebought and check the ingredients. [/QUOTE]
