[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a SAHM, I am no more your personal assistant, back up child care, sick care provider, etc. than anyone who works.  If you ask me, I'd help on a one time, but I'm so tired of the expectation that someone is SAH so they should help.  I am home for my family needs, not yours and I will help out once but if you do not return the favor I will not do it again.  If you want help with something else or me to volunteer, make me feel welcomed and appreciated and not just your servant.  I do not do PTA or school as I got tired of being treated poorly by the queen and king bees who want to complain no one wants to help but when you try to help its not wanted or needed.[/quote]

You sound unhappy.[/quote]

Actually, she sounds pretty accurate.  There are queen and king bee martyr volunteers who ice out new volunteers and then complain that they don't get any help.  I've seen it.  I have also seen really great PTA members who are welcoming and inclusive.  But you can not assume that all PTA members are welcoming and inclusive because some are absolutely NOT.  They SAY they want help but they really want to run the show with just their chosen friends and to gossip/complain about the other parents not helping out - and it's usually for selfish reasons, too, not for "the school".[/quote]
