[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shrieking with joy about her big chance to be the room parent? That strikes me as sad. I don't mean to be mean, just saying. [/quote]

You shriek for joy when you drop your kids off in the morning, I shriek for joy when mine arrive home off the bus and when I can show them school is important to me by volunteering.   [/quote]

Wow - that was leap!  I don't think the pp doesn't care about her kids education because she made a comment about a mom that is a little overzealous about being a room parent.  Some of these parents are a little crazy.

I had a similar experience at my DD's back to school night with a mom that is KNOWN to be a complete control freak and only volunteers for jobs that she thinks will get her an "in" with the teacher or the principle.  She also seems to think of herself as a gate keeper to parents getting to know the teachers and other parents.  It's sad and funny all at the same time.

I overheard her talking to another mom about the schedule for an activitiy that her DS and this other mom's DD are participants.  Apparently another parent sent out an email to all of the parents concerning the schedule.  Her reaction to the other mom in the room was  "don't they know I'M IN CHARGE of the schedule?!  ME!  I'M IN CHARGE OF THE SCHEDULE!!"  The emotion was intense for a volunteer position.  Not normal!

My assessment is that she is a control freak looking for some type of validation in being a SAHM.  She tries to alienate WMs in very obvious ways and almost refuses to speak or engage with them unless forced by a social situation.

Again, sad but I find some of her interactions amusing as she falls all over herself to break up conversations between moms that she likes and moms that she doesn't like.
