[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fully agree with what so many of you are saying. But I can also see in so many of these posts that the people saying they shouldn’t ever have to help would probably be pretty upset if the school suddenly stopped doing any of the “fun” stuff. If the school stopped the holiday parties, field day, festivals, field trips, etc. you’d be the first Karen through the door.[/quote]

Oh girl are you kidding me, I’d pop a bottle of champagne!!!! Look, do that $hit if you find it genuinely fulfilling but please don’t have any illusions that you’re doing the rest of us any favors!![/quote]

I would love it if every parent was like you. We could do away with all of this nonsense. But I love that you think the people doing the grunt work on all this crap find it “genuinely fulfilling” 😂[/quote]

Another one for popping a bottle of champagne.  I don't remember having all this stuff as a kid - and that was when there were plenty of SAHMs.  School was school.  If there was a field day, the gym teachers organized it and invited parents, not the other way round. [/quote]

Really?  How old are you and where did you grow up?  "All this stuff" has been a fixture in the DMV for generations.[/quote]

I grew up in Chevy Chase in the seventies and early eighties. It’s shocking to me how elaborate school has grown outside of class itself.  I see some men participating, but it’s overwhelmingly still women who are expected to do all these elaborate things at school - despite the fact that most of us work full time now. It’s unnecessary, and I don’t understand why more women aren’t revolting.  [/quote]

I grew up around the same time as you, and have a daughter who is a full time working primary breadwinner and the excellent mother of two elementary school kids.  She does none of this stuff and doesn't feel that she is "expected" to do any of it.  On the other hand, she doesn't judge women who do.  On the contrary, she's grateful to them because she is a "to each her own" kind of thinker.  And, sure, some of these things may not be "necessary," but so are a lot of things in life.

There's nothing worse than old biddies who sit around judging the younger generation. [/quote]
