I feel like I am always that daycare mom who is a pain. I always bring issues up to the teacher and director.
My issue right now is snack. Alexandra just started eating lunch and snack at daycare. Yesterday was animal crackers, (no real issue there), but today snack was poptarts. I dont even give my school agers those. I feel like poptarts are not the world's healthiest snack for an infant room.
I am tempted to get a menu and cross out anything I feel she shouldn't have. Thoughts? I am being that mom aren't I?
My goofy little love. I love you Alexandra Marie.
Re: Snack Question!
Go ahead, be "that mom" and know that your kid will be healthier than the other kids because of a better diet.
Pop tarts are a no no at any age in my book. I'd be sending in my own foods if that was the snack; definitly look at their menu.
DD eats breakfast and lunch at DC. Every Monday I get a copy of the menu, write my daughter's name on it and cross out what she can't have.
I currently pack snacks that she can eat by herself - yogurt bites, cereal, fruit chunks, graham crackers, and puffs.

I'd be packing my own healthy snacks for my kid and straight up explaining that I don't feed him junk food and would prefer he eats what's in his bag. I wonder if the other parents don't know or just don't take issue with their little ones eating toaster pastries for a snack.
