[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Because of the off-putting PTA moms. I don't want to contribute to their private club.[/quote][/b]

Well put.  And after 15 years of this nonsense in private school while paying full-freight, I am just exhausted and no longer interested in the auction, the cookie sale, anything.  Just please charge me $400 more at the beginning of the year.  I can't work a full time job while dealing with all the incoming school emails re: fundraisers and activities.  It's just too much.[/quote]

So agree.  I've been in a number of schools, both public and private, and the PTAs moms are really the problem.  They are the ex-lawyers, ex-professionals, ex-wives looking for a way to boost their own ego.  No matter what the event is - auction, back-to-school night, xmas wrap, halloween party, teacher appreciation lunches, auction solicitations, auction dinner, library donations, library sales, bake sales, car washes, teacher gifts - the end result is some cat fight between two women over some issue because it is a silly power play.  The ego issues drive the PTA and I've witnessed so much catty, bitchy, gossipy behavior that I just don't want any part of it anymore - signed mom of 3, public and private, former everything in the PTA.[/quote]
