[quote=Anonymous]I'm with you, OP. We are at one of those highly regarded FCPS elementary schools with the multiple events like you describe (teacher basketball game, crazy hair day, family fun evening, bingo, movie in the open, dine a different place every month, etc.) I work full time, and have two younger kids, and have so far considered these optional, but DC wants to attend everything because his friends are. Both me and DH dread most of them, and I felt probably even more anxiety about the beginning of the school year than DC. I know I shouldn't complain, because it is better to have events and choose not to go, than not have them at all, but this is how my gut feels - overwhelmed because of all other aspects of life, guilty that I don't want to attend/don't enjoy them, yet pressured to do them.
