[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our PTA has ever so helpfully organized teacher appreciation week into a 5 day ordeal of holly homemaker hell.  They have given us a different assignment for each day of the week - day 1, bring in 1 flower for the teacher, day 2 bring in food for a[b] 7am[/b] breakfast, day 3 have a your child make a card for the teacher, day 4 get your teacher something from a "wish list" and day 5 bring in a gift for a specialist.

I have 3 jobs, I am running on 5 hours sleep, and I don't have a nanny, housekeeper, or even a babysitter, and one of these women - the kind that hasn't worked a day in 20 years but whines constantly about how hard it is being a stay-at-home mom, asks me what I'm bringing to the breakfast, and I say NOTHING.  I am at work at 7am and don't have time, and she says - everyone is busy, you just have to make time!

What is wrong with these women?  This is one more domestic expectation that seems to be[b] forced only on women[/b], regardless of whether or not we work as much as men. PTA is a tool of oppression and I want to punch it in the face.  [/quote]

Sounds like, in addition to a PTA problem, you have a lazy husband problem.  [/quote]
