I'm starting to think that my DD's BFF's family dislikes me. My 5-year-old DD plays with her BFF often and to be nice she plays more at their house due to me doing daycare.
I usually send a snack for all the kids there, as I know the older sister gets to have a friend over as well. I usually send granola bars; home made cookies, animal crackers etc. and they always come back, except for the home made cookies! LOL
A few weeks ago I sent fresh fruit, watermelon and raspberries. The plastic container came back with full fruit and dirt added in from the ground. My DD said that the container blew over and it knocked on the ground. I was somewhat shocked that it didn't get rinsed to say the least. So I over looked it as a rain storm had blown in and maybe the Mom didn’t have time to rinse it etc…
Well today she went for a lunch playdate so I sent a package of Maria cookies and told her to tell them that it’s for there house hold as I know the girls love those cookies. Well they came back and my daughters BFF made a rude comment on why do you always have to send stuff? I simply said that it’s to say thank you for having DD play with you and I sent them as a gift as I know they are your favorite.
I suppose I’m a jerk for sending stuff. It’s not like I’m sending high fat or unhealthy foods.
I started doing it due to another neighbor telling my DD to make sure she comes with her own snack as she wont be feeding her.
