[quote=Anonymous]During Spring of our DC's senior year, all kinds of parents (never seen before in 4 years!) came out of the woodwork to participate in a few of the senior events parents run for the kids.  Eye opening on some of these folks, their need to control, self importance....but also others just staying under the fray and doing what they can do to help out.  I have no need to get into drama - but I do enjoy meeting people and participating and helping.  I just give grace and let the bossy behavior slide. But I also do my best to find something else to help with when my radar goes off on an over-the-top parent.  No judging but no need to touch the third rail. And remember - almost everyone else also notices those people and how they are acting.  The groups seemed pretty adept at managing it.  Some ideas/actions are so out of bounds that nobody gets behind it and it dies of lack of air.  Other ideas/actions are so bad that others (self included) speak up and squash.  And the ones that are "just fine" but you don't want drama....you don't sign up for a big role on that project. [/quote]
