[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a working parent who works 12s and has 2/3 days off midweek. My spouse works 4-midnight. I’m solo parenting every evening and usually driving my kid to some activity, doing dinner, bedtime whatever. I can’t do 7-8pm meetings. I paid to be on our PTO but can’t attend the meetings. I go in and help with stuff at the school though on my days off. 
Everyone has different time constraints and different gifts to offer. 
If the majority of people on the pta are sahm they’re going to choose times that work for them. They’re volunteers, I don’t begrudge them.[/quote]

I don’t begrudge them their hobby, but I find it incredibly tiresome how much complaining they do about how no one will participate in that hobby, when they intentionally exclude the majority of parents. If you want participation, be inclusive, and if you want everything done to suit your own preferences, don’t be surprised when others opt out.

It’s not rocket science to rotate meeting times, recognizing no time works for everyone but most times work for someone. [/quote]
