[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our swim team says parents must sign up to volunteer for every meet DC attends. We do that but noticed some families don’t sign up for anything. Even some with multiple kids.  Are we chumps for signing up every time?  [/quote]

Get over yourself.  I get it, you volunteer a lot, it's great, you're awesome.  You just don't know other people's situations.  Maybe they have to work 70 hours a week.  Maybe they have illness, or a disabled family member, a crisis.  Should their kids deserve less opportunity?  The unfortunate?  The poors?  No.  So just he grateful you have the time and health to volunteer, and know everyone appreciates it whether they properly show it or not[/quote]
I think we’ve established that there are obviously circumstances that warrant making an exception to the volunteer rules. The issue is the families with kids on the team who show up at every meet and flit around chatting but never volunteer. And our team puts out sign ups for even the behind the scenes jobs so we know when people just aren’t volunteering vs not volunteering for an on deck role. [/quote]
