[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I threw my name in the hat to be my youngest's room parent and randomly got picked...ok great! Doing what needs to be done and put out a call for volunteers to run the various holiday parties, first come first served.
These women, some of whom have completely ignored me for YEARS, are now kissing my ring and acting like we are besties because they want me to pick them for their desired holiday. The texts I have been receiving are unbelievable. I read them to my husband and he was dying. "The power must be intoxicating." 
I don't like this feeling at all! If you didn't talk to me when I was a nobody then we're not friends. Any similar stories?[/quote]

Nope we couldnt get other parents to volunteer in class for anything.....just have a list sign-up of who wants to do what parties, give them each a number, post the list with numbers and do a random drawing for however many spots you need for that particular event. See if any parents are willing to be an alternate for day-of cancellations. 
Also as a suggestion, require any party donations to be brought in a few days prior. We had this wonderful cookie decorating for winter party planned and the mom didnt bring the cookies after being reminded 3x. People will sign up and have the best of intentions but its annoying AF. One of us had to go run around and find 30 plain sugar cookies on a whim.

DO NOT play favorites.
