[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We belong to a neighborhood pool that has a swim team. When I firsted started going there, I was like, "oh swim club looks so fun and nice! maybe our kids should do it!" but after a couple summers of overhearing the swim team moms and dads talk to each other, no way. there's all this pressure to do annoying sh*t like sell concessions and set up chairs and time races. tons of gossip. lots of SAHMS with too much time on their hands who do stuff like make up unnecessary volunteer work and then pressure you to do it. Idiotic stuff like potluck parties at 1pm in the 95 degree heat. Sitting around making gift bags for kids. And then they get all mommy martyr-ish and try to pressure other moms into doing this sh*t. No thanks. The kids seem fine. Mostly white. No Lax bro culture. But the parent culture, yuck[/quote] If you don’t want to ever have to volunteer than don’t sign your kids up for summer swim…it’s really just that simple.[/quote]
