[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was given a gift the last two times I've been room mother but I did a tremendous amount for the classes and teachers. I was shocked to get anything. The first time the teacher gave me a gift. Second time I did it, both the teacher and separately some other mothers gave me a gift. All three gifts were Visa gift cards. Again, I was really surprised and appreciative but I truly did much, much more than party planning, getting volunteers organized, etc.[/quote] Well, then, you were probably overstepping your boundaries. A room mom should plan the (minimum number of) parties, organize the teacher gift, and collect volunteers for PTA events if they ask for that--anything more and you're being a total PITA to the other parents. Signed, A Room Mom Many Times Over[/quote] Agree. If you did (overdramatic pause) a tremendous amount more, people were probably annoyed by you. Was the gift a "worlds best martyr" tshirt?[/quote]
