[quote=Anonymous] Our PTS a cut up to the fact that many families have dual working parents. Definitely a different feel than the daycare world, where everyone by default is a dual working family. Also generally the unspoken assumption is that women will be doing 90% of the work. What I do is find the things at the school that fit my schedule, and leave it at that. DH does very little with the PTA other than write a check sometimes, he’s fine with that. I tend to volunteer for things like junior achievement, Because I think the kids need to see that women have a job sometimes outside of the school. I participate in what works for my schedule (usually in the evening) but don’t beat myself up if I can’t be at the school during the day for something.[/quote]
