No I do not and yes I understand that.

Thanks for all the comments! I do appreciate them! Here is a little more of the situation...the mama is in Cub Scouts and they meet at 5:30. Daddy isn't home yet from work, so she brings all the kids (including the baby she just had). The kids are home-schooled and my husband told me last night, "I bet she doesn't feed them before they come to church and that's why they come 'looking' for food." They moved here about a year now. I know they have struggled with money, but I have been to their home. They have food--just not the junky food we usually have at church (like chips or cookies or cakes). The smaller kids run free in the church, while the mama is usually just in the foyer with the baby. She is usually talking or reading. Thanks for the suggestions. I plan on mentioning to the YW Pres. again. We have all talked about it before, but just come to the conclusion that if we have extra I guess give it to them. The YM Pres. is like, "If they come wanting food, I'm not gonna turn them down." To me, it's not even about that--I don't mind giving ever so often, but like this past Wed. when we were doing something special for one of our girls for getting their reward, I didn't like that they come in there. Maybe it's my issue and I need to work on that. Thanks again ya'll!! :)

Yeah...the YW pres. knows about it. Our YW are even getting tired of it. I think I'm going to talk to the Bishop and see what he says. Like you said, there maybe things going on, but still...I think there also needs to be some form of level of respect (or whatever you may call it) that the kids need to give. We have our Evening of Excellence coming up soon and there should be no reason for them to be in there, since we are not inviting the whole ward (and they have no sisters in YW). They just need to know that they can't go around doing that....but yet we aren't so mean that we turn them away. Thanks for y'alls replies though! :)

Hey y'all! I have a question that I would like some advice on...I am in Young Women. We often have snacks and food (for varies activities). We have a family in the ward that has 2 boys in Scouts. They also have 4 other small children that are up there on Wed. nights (3 are in Cub Scouts and a little girl that just comes). Question--> Every time we have food, they come around wanting some--the kids that is. We had a party in the kitchen for one of our girls (she got her YW Recognition Award) and they just walk on in and are like, "Can we have some?" It's not that I don't mind, but sometimes I do. It's every time. I don't know. We never turn them away, but I just wish they would only come if we invited them or after everyone has got theirs. They have even come down to our YW room peaking in looking to see if we have food. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks y'all! :)
