[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about:  so many requests for volunteering, etc. take place during the day? Or, so many kids' events take place during the school day:  talent show, meet-the-room-mothers coffee and bagels, etc.[/quote]

Am I alone in just not giving a shit?  My kid is in a private Catholic and I have never been to the class to read, or to serve lunch in the lunchroom, or check out books in the library, etc.  I am not going to volunteer to organize the spring fundraiser.  I wouldn't do any of this stuff if my kid was in a public either.  Here's what I am able to do:

- Contribute healthy snacks for class parties and supplies the teacher has requested
- Make sure my kid completes all of his class assignments on time
- Write a check to the annual fund 
- Spend money at the spring fundraiser
- Volunteer for the fall festival (which has evening and weekend hours)

This is not discrimination.  It is what it is.  School happens during the day; ergo they need volunteers during the day.  I work, therefore I do not volunteer. [b] The school has dozens of SAHM's who do volunteer.  I view this as their "work" while I am at my job.  I hear you on the excessive breaks, though.  I am just fortunate that I have enough family around to help.  [/quote]

So, the SAHMs are working for you? Do they know this?   [/quote]

NP here.  Yes, bitch, they know it.[/quote]
