[quote=Anonymous]Our PTA has ever so helpfully organized teacher appreciation week into a 5 day ordeal of holly homemaker hell.  They have given us a different assignment for each day of the week - day 1, bring in 1 flower for the teacher, day 2 bring in food for a[b] 7am[/b] breakfast, day 3 have a your child make a card for the teacher, day 4 get your teacher something from a "wish list" and day 5 bring in a gift for a specialist.

I have 3 jobs, I am running on 5 hours sleep, and I don't have a nanny, housekeeper, or even a babysitter, and one of these women - the kind that hasn't worked a day in 20 years but whines constantly about how hard it is being a stay-at-home mom, asks me what I'm bringing to the breakfast, and I say NOTHING.  I am at work at 7am and don't have time, and she says - everyone is busy, you just have to make time!

What is wrong with these women?  This is one more domestic expectation that seems to be forced only on women, regardless of whether or not we work as much as men. PTA is a tool of oppression and I want to punch it in the face.  [/quote]
