[quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering what the point of these type of events are. Pancakes with parents, muffins with moms, donuts with dads, etc.
I ask because my kids' school is changing the format this year. In the past, the event was held before school started. One morning was donuts with dads and a spectate event, on a different day, was muffins with moms. I know there was some push to consolidate into one day and make it "parents" since not every child has both and mother and father. I am fine with that change.
However, the event is now going to be held from 9:30-10:00. This now means that parents will have to take time off work to attend. It will also be in the classrooms so if a child does not have a parent there, it will be more obvious than it would have been previously (in the gym so families really mix and mingle).
As a household with 2 woh parents I am frustrated that this is another event my kids will just have to suck it up for and accept that we can't be there. Whereas before, we could just be a few minutes late to work after spending some time eating with the kids at school.
So, my original question, what is the point of these events? Because now it seems like a shortened Open House with food...have fun sahm/d! Can you throw my kid a wave and a smile while you are there?[/quote]
