[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, when I was last room parent, I asked people to sign up to bring something specific (drinks, water, cookies) rather than asking for money.  I happily funded everything else because I saw it as my room parent duty.

This is what I do and usually I have a few generous parents pick up the big things so I just have to do fill in and activities.  I have no issue spending the money as if some of these parents would actually attend the parties they'd see how much some of the kids enjoy it.  Likewise some kids don't get invited to birthday parties for their peers so these are the are the only parties they get to go to, which is pretty sad that parents deliberately exclude kids.

It really isn't that expensive and if you are a room parent year to year, you save the decorations so you just need food and some activities (as you save some from the year before).

Is it really that hard to chip in a pack of plates, a bag of veggies, etc?  You really are going to deny your kids a few parties a year at school?  [/quote]
