[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, just another perspective on this.  My DH volunteers as an age-group coordinator in a local youth sports organization, and every season (2x/year) he rosters and schedules 500+ kids, 90% of whom come in with special requests.

It's like a part time job. But one of the perks is that he gets to decide the schedule for our son's team.  Is that fair?  I don't know.  But given the enormous amount of time he pours into this, and the fact that it's a largely behind-the-scenes position with little to no recognition of the hard work, it feels fair to me that he gets first dibs on the schedule.

I for one appreciate all the work that the PTO does so that I don't have to. And if the "perk" they get is first dibs on the signup form?  That seems okay to me.[/quote]

100% this. As a former PTO board member, what KILLED me were all these parents who never had two seconds to help out with anything we needed, but would show up 45 minutes before a school concert or other event to claim prime seating while those of us pouring our free time into the school sat on the floor or 15 rows back. And I say this as a mom who works FT out of the home in a demanding job.[/quote]

Omg you can not volunteer to help do something and then shame others who don’t AND expect people to bend over backwards for you. Such a gross mindset to have. [/quote]
