[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're one of the parents who never brings in money for collections, or silent auction items, or you never volunteer for anything like selling raffle tickets, PTA, etc. can you explain why and if it embarrasses you at all? This is anonymous, so no accusations, I just really want to know. What are your justifications? Do you think it impacts your child at all? Do you find yourself avoiding other parents? Or seeking out like-minded ones? Really just looking for honest answers and not ugliness. TIA![/quote]

I am a single mom with a full-time job that doesn't pay much, living in a tiny one-bedroom in a bad area. I'm already doing all I can. I am not embarrassed at all. I don't avoid other parents but I don't spend much time at the school socializing because I have to get to work in the mornings and get the kid home in the evenings. I haven't noticed it impacting my kid. Are you implying you think less of my kid or dislike her because her mother doesn't bring in homemade brownies for bake sales or volunteer for field trips or whatever? [/quote]
