[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My school finally cracked down on this.  No siblings in the on field trips or even in school AT ALL except for night events (minus back to school night, where no kids are allowed.)

They allow siblings outside for halloween parade but not inside for the party.  So many teachers complained to the PTA and principal that we cracked down on it.  Amazing how most of these moms were still able to come sans kids.  We also set up a baby sitting swap for SAHM volunteers that has worked really well and has had an huge surge in community and families knowing each other.

To the mom who said she loves bringing her youngest to parties and the class "loves her" - that child is a distraction and the teacher will politely smile but loathe you on the inside.  [/quote]

Actually, the teacher really likes my son and was disappointed when I didn't bring him to one of the class parties. But thanks for making assumptions about her and him. [/quote]

Does your school age kid attend a private in ward 3?  If so, no, the other kids don't in fact love your son.   Maybe a few of the girls who are in that baby/toddler gaga stage where they can't wait until they can babysit for cash.  But the rest of the kids, including my son? They're sick of your toddler always showing up at parties. [/quote]
