So far we haven't gotten anything crazy yet - mostly non-food items or some fruit snacks, pretzels, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442562 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 21:22:33 +0000 misolee 2442562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Teachers specifically said no candy. LO is also really good at not begging for candy. She'll eat one occasionally for a treat but that's it. I'm not much of a candy person and neither is hubby so I think she just gets it from us. We always throw 90% of holiday candy away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442539 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 21:03:54 +0000 avivoca 2442539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, they aren't allowed to give out candy. But we ration what candy she does get (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc.) and end up tossing most of it after a couple of weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442495 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 20:22:52 +0000 BandDmommy 2442495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, everyone gives healthy snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442486 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 20:08:50 +0000 mrsjyw 2442486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope the school is pretty strict on healthy treats for parties and bag up the candy for the parents. Ds is good about only getting one or two treats we give him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442434 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 19:22:56 +0000 regberadaisy 2442434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far most parents have been really good about not handing out candy as valentines! And everything comes home in a bag they make for us to look through first. For daycare parties they encourage and ask parents not to bring in sweets!</p> <p>Hoping this will continue through grade school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442369 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 18:18:55 +0000 PinkElephant 2442369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really....she only goes in the mornings and they tend to do most of the party things in the afternoon. I'm sure she'll come home with a little goodie bag from the teachers, but the treats from other kids usually happen after lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442309 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:20:36 +0000 HLK208 2442309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I "save" most of it. They're allowed a few pieces the day of and the day after but then I usually end up throwing it away. No one remembers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442303 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:17:56 +0000 chopsuey 2442303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go through everything and toss the bad stuff. My kids don't go crazy over candy and chocolate, but when it's available they eat what I give them (3-5 m&amp;ms and skittles, I gold coin, 1 starburst, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442300 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:14:51 +0000 Andrea 2442300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because I throw that stuff right out. I do the same after birthday parties and Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442298 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:12:36 +0000 blackbird 2442298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah, we'll pilfer through it first. I'm bringing crazy straws! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442292 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 17:10:09 +0000 autumnlove 2442292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the teachers don't let them eat candy at school and they give the edible Valentine's stuff (same for Halloween) to parents at pick up time. I'll let them pick one thing and I will toss or eat the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-dreading-what-lo-comes-home-with-after-the-valentines-party#post-2442242 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:38:56 +0000 mediagirl 2442242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thankful my daughter isn't obsessed with candy yet but I hate thinking about the parties at school where she comes home with a ton of candy that even I wouldn't eat. Example: cheap junk candy from Party City. Is anyone else dreading the daycare Valentine's Day party like I am just because of all the junk that will come home? </p>
