[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no dog in this fight as I'm a sah who volunteers but easily admits that many of these school moms are nutty- but that's not the Pp misunderstanding- I think everyone on the thread read your words the same way. That makes it look like you are back pedaling now.[/quote]

How does "I have a job and can't do the pta and that doesn't make me a bad mom" translate to "I literally never attend any event my kid is a part of at school"? They aren't the same thing. PTA is not school. It has nothing to do with my child and what she's doing in her classroom. To act as though my being unable to volunteer for the PTA means I do nothing for my kid to support her at school is ludicrous and not me back pedaling but you guys somehow conflating PTA with parenting.

NP here.  You are backpeddaling now because people called you out to being a cold bitch.  You are on DCUM where most of the parents are rich, highly educated and have high pressure careers, so your being condescending to volunteers or people who participate as SAHs with time to kill is very offensive.  Your child benefits by the volunteer work of other parents - and most of these parents have jobs and careers and they still find it in them to be involved.  And if they cannot be involved, they are at the very least very thankful to those who volunteer.  It is you who is conflating PTA with parenting and SAH parents. You are even dissing WOH parents who volunteer as people who have flexible careers.  Where do you get off, lady?  You seem like a terrible and angry person.  Maybe you need to understand that you have a very offensive way of communicating and for your sake I hope this is only on DCUM and not in real life.[/quote]

:roll: no, my child could do just fine without 80% of what the PTA does. The main positive thing they do is fundraise to pay for aides and I write my check for that, done. I have 0 qualms. Having to be snack mom 2x/year is quite enough for me. [/quote]
