[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I threw my name in the hat to be my youngest's room parent and randomly got picked...ok great! Doing what needs to be done and put out a call for volunteers to run the various holiday parties, first come first served.
These women, some of whom have completely ignored me for YEARS, are now kissing my ring and acting like we are besties because they want me to pick them for their desired holiday. The texts I have been receiving are unbelievable. I read them to my husband and he was dying. "The power must be intoxicating." 
I don't like this feeling at all! If you didn't talk to me when I was a nobody then we're not friends. Any similar stories?[/quote]

None of my kids' schools have ever had a designated room parent (public school). Teachers/admin ask for volunteers when needed. Can someone explain what this role is? [/quote]

At my kids’ school it is really just planning the parties and sometimes other special events (working as a point person between teacher and parents). Usually the teacher gave me quite specific direction about these events and as room parent I sent out an email for volunteers, supply or monetary donations, etc. Also handled the class gift. That was about it. [/quote]
