[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:33 - you are so right. Lots of complaints and opinions but very few who will actually do the work. [/quote]

+1. Everybody thinks they are way too busy to volunteer, but the people who did volunteer must have time on their hands, right? I think people way underestimate the effort it takes to pull off an event or project.[/quote]

I worked FT when my daughter was in kindergarten.  No one signed up for room mom, so I took the position.  I used my lunch hour, even though it was at 10 am some days, and it worked fine.  People can make time.  So many SAHM’s that refused to help.  I provided all food, drinks, games, paper products, prizes, essentials, etc as there was no way I was counting on anyone else.  [/quote]

I haven't seen this at all. Normally the room mom puts out a sign up genius for cups, napkins, plates, etc and everyone scrambles to sign up for the easy job of dropping something off or sending it in. Those spots filled up immediately. What people don't want to do is drop everything and man the party for 20 minutes in the middle of a day to be there in person. But sending in the juice boxes is easy peasy. I was a SAHM when I had kids in kindergarten and I often had a baby at home, so no, I didn't have anyone available in the middle of the day to babysit so I could attend said party. It's no different than a WOHM who can't just leave in the middle of the day.[/quote]
