Are you dealing with peer pressure? Not the kid kind. The parent kind.

In the current issue of Woman's Day Magazine Paula Spencer's Momfidence column tackles the topic of parental peer pressure. (There's also a little somethin' somethin' from me at the end).
Give in to peer pressure? Me?

Here's another little somethin'....

Try making the suggestion that instead of snacks at every game, the parents pool snack funds together and provide an end of the season party for the team. I have actually made this suggestion myself and it has been embraced and accepted. No one accused me of being a funsucker. In fact, other parents expressed their own relief that someone stepped up and made the suggestion.

The end of season party is a celebration everyone can share and remember long after the last game is played.

Can you say the same for a juice box and a pack of cookies?
