[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher who gets one personal day per year so I can't do any activities at my kids' school during the day. I have chaperoned one field trip each while they were in ES. As they get older, they don't want to go to the school events as much- fall festival, spring fair, etc. They each have one activity after-school and the one who plays soccer has games on Sat. That's it. Sometimes you just need to say no. I would come home from my school on Friday nights exhausted and tell then I was too tired for the winter movie night at school. If they really wanted to go, I'd have them ask a friend if they could go with them. That's how I learned that they weren't really dying to go either. I'm a single parent so I don't have any help. I have enough stress from my own job so I definitely won't add to it with their activities.[/quote]
