[quote=Anonymous]I'm a PP who is a two parent work out of the home family. I can't believe there are really that many parents who come to your child's school four days a week for reading and/or lunch. Even the most involved stay at home parents I know don't even show up once a week for this stuff. Regardless, by the time you figure out things with a new job or lifestyle that allows you to show up four times a week, your child won't want it and/or it won't be an option. There is no perfect life and things will be a lot easier for you if you just accept your situation and let your kids know the limits. I always tell mine that if something is really important, they have to let me know and then I'll do everything I can to make it work. We look at the school calendar way in advance and make our list so that I can build my schedule around what matters. Typically, I do one field trip for each kid, all school conferences, Halloween party, and all IEP meetings. [/quote]
