[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I literally just ordered gift cards from Amazon and they will be delivered same day. I’m going to have my kids make cards after school today. I added a few items that I signed up for on the sign up genius.

It took longer to type this on dcum.

Some people complain for the sake of complaining. OP could have clicked and ordered in the time she was complaining on dcum. You don’t have to do everything.

If this gift card or napkins or orange juice is a hardship for your family, just don’t participate.[/quote]

How cute you are. Nice that it's so easy for you.

I hated teacher appreciation week. I volunteered a lot and saw several teachers be snarky about the gifts they got in front of me. The worst were the request for specific items for each day. Tuesday is purple flower day. Thursday is scented candle day... The teachers do not want this junk but plenty of them get upset if they don't get the junk. It's ridiculous.

Also [b]to the people bragging about being room parents while working full time, I never saw that.[/b] It was always the sahms and they usually had a bit of a controlling personality. I got asked several times to be room mom because the teachers were comfortable with me. [/quote]

Hmm, that's on you that you think the PP and I were "bragging." Weird. Anyway, the majority of room parents I've dealt with over the last six years in both my kids' classes have worked full-time. Obviously your situation may be different, but the whole point of the response was to stop the ridiculous comments that room parents are always SAHMs who like giving people busy work. That's completely untrue at the two schools my kids have been at. [/quote]
