[quote=Anonymous]My kids are older, but durign elementary school I was very involved when my oldest was 3 and 4 (chaired school's auction 2 years in a row as well as an active PTO committee). By the time my DC2 enrolled we no longer had a nanny (both kids in school) and things got busier at work and home (sports, music lessons). We turned into check writers and occasional helping hands at an event others planned. At our charter donations were made to the school - nothing passed through the PTO - so it would have been impossible for the 'active parents' to know we were contributing at all. New parents always have the most energy - and god bless them for it. I know I did my time when I was a new parent and it was nice that others took the reins. I'm sure the parents of younger people thought I did 'nothing' although the school administrators knew otherwise. [/quote]
