DD and another little girl on her team go to school together, and so we do some carpooling. The family we carpool with is a very kind family. Kids are very sweet, parents are very friendly. I pick the girls up from school around 3:50 and drive them to practice directly from school. Practice ends at 8:30. Practice lasts for more than 4 hours. The issue is that the little girl often comes with little or nothing to eat. I pack a full thermos for DD with chocolate milk which she eats in the car and plenty of snacks for snack break. The Mom has had past issues with her weight, which she sometimes talks about. I can tell it is a tough subject for her, and she has feelings about her current weight. She is a very pretty lady with no visible weight issues. DD is an adorable little ball of fire with a sparkplug body. Very strong, very sturdy, short. No fat, all muscle. Mom has expressed worry about her daughter's weight. The kid is hungry when she gets in my car. A few times I have given her a protein bar or some other such snack. I feel bad that she sits there watching my kid eat. My kids inherited my husband's leanness, and DD requires alot of food to get through practice. Do I feed this kid? Stay out of it? Offer to bring her something the days she rides with me? She apparently can get a snack from our snack bar at break, but none of it is food that would fuel a child through a four hour practice. Any suggestions?
