[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]just one more way to complicate, pile-on the obligations. And you're not an adequate parent if you don't do it. Make it stop.[/quote]

what the heck!? No one is forcing you to do this. Plenty of parents really, really enjoy this. Reading is so important to me and I love doing it. The kids sat so patiently and clapped when I was done. They actually made me read 3 books.

While I do feel really, really bad for kids whose parents don't participate in things, my kids really benefitted. There was only one kid whose parent didn't come for the Valentines party and she cried and cried. I felt AWFUL! But instead I think teachers should have taken her to another class for some other fun activity. My son still talks about how I came. I love seeing him and his little friends at school. I missed out on a few years there because of covid.

You can still be a wonderful parent even if you aren't able to come to daytime things. My dh can't easily miss work or change his schedule around on short notice. [/quote]
