[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid would've died of embarrassment if I was still meeting about class parties in 5th grade. Maybe it's time to take up a hobby or something.[/quote]

OP here.  I am a full time working mom.  No one stepped up to room parent 5th grade so the teachers asked again.  So not there are just a few of us are running the snacks and games for the entire 5th grade (4 classes of 25-27 kids each.)   The teachers don't run the parties at all. If a few moms don't step up, your kids don't get a party.  So sorry, this was my hobby after a long week of work.

I don't care about healthy snack options, but these kids have had a sweet option at every single party their entire elementary school and it is their last one.  Not huge donuts or cupcakes, but simple items.  Last year it was two Oreos, a cheese stick, and pretzels.  So no one else is coming in with treats.  Someone is buying bulk oranges and popcorn for the whole grade.  Picking the games was an issue too.  I just don't care, but I envision handing out these oranges and these 5th graders are going to be like "are you serious!??"   :lol:  If you want to start the health only kick, do it in K when they don't know any better.

Anyway, it is the dominating mom issue.  Shutting other moms down like they are her children.  I wasn't the one who suggested the cookie.  I tried to say, that seems to be fine and the dominating mom ignored us and just moved on with her game ideas.  Not sure if I can handle her all year as a room parent.  Maybe that is why no one ever steps forward?  [/quote]

Domineering mom isn't going anywhere.  She will still be like this in middle school.. she needs to run her kids' lives.

Send in what you want.

Likely a great time to end class parties, too.  Maybe a movie that afternoon instead, and everyone brings their own snack for it.

That's what one of ds's teachers did.[/quote]
