[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a PTSA president when my kids were in school.  It was a time-consuming role.  And someone will always be mad at you.  But, we raised $32,000 to build a new playground.  All the kids benefited from that project.  The next year, we were able to put new technology in every classroom.  A huge plus for our teachers.

I'll admit that I judge parents who choose not to be involved. I'm busy too.  It's amazing that the busiest people I know always find time to volunteer at school.[/quote]

I’m a SAHM mom and I seldom volunteer. I get asked to volunteer a lot and I think people wonder why I’m not at the school more… but here’s the thing, I’m
not a SAHM by choice. I desperately want to work. But I have 3 kids under 8, elderly parents (80s) who require my help with appointments. Not enough money to outsource yard work, repairs, house cleaning, childcare right now.  All of these things are very time-consuming.

The “busiest people” have a life that is set up for them to be out of the house. I know bc I used to be one of these people. I had a FT job and a nanny and cleaning lady and people who kept up with landscaping. I had more flexibility then than I do now. Sigh.
