[quote=Anonymous][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.
[b]So, my original question, what is the point of these events? [/b]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]

You should ask your school's PTA president this question, not DCUM.[/quote]
