[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the room mom for a close-in burb center with a long waiting list.

[b]It's amazing how cheap people are.  I get that things can be tight, but like one PP pointed out- these ladies are with our kids more during the week than we are.  And at centers, even with exorbitant tuition - there isn't a trickle down.  These workers are not making very much money.

I ended up throwing in close to $300 so that both of the main teachers and the two floaters could have a respectable gift.  [/quote]

You have no idea what people's financial situations are on this board. We don't have an extra $300 to give to the caregivers at our child's center. We pay the cost to send him there and we were able to pull together a little extra to buy a small gift and include a nice card for each of them. That doesn't make us cheap, it's what we could afford. So keep your uninformed, insensitive, judgmental thoughts to yourself.  [/quote]

+1 it blows my mind how detached from reality some people are. Get off your high horse and realize that some people don't have $300 left at the end of the month to spend on gifts, no matter how much we appreciate our teachers. Imagine these teachers who you say don't make much giving $300 to their kids teachers - I guarantee you they don't. [/quote]

I see your point, and I, too, don't have that cash at the end of the month. Which is why I started a savings goal literally in June and have been stuffing in $10 here, $20 there...

In the words of Dave Ramsey, "Christmas is not an emergency. It's held on the same day every year." I'm not saying you need to give more; I am challenging your "it all rides on the month of December budget" mentality.[/quote]
