[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) grab a flower from your garden
2) ignore this-- everyone brings in food. Or send in some grapes or cookies.
3) Have your kid make a card.
4) Get 2 amazon gift cards -- one for the teacher...
5) and one for the specialist.

Oh.  my.  god.  Can you people not read?  We had a specific list of things to bring - and nothing on the list was pre-prepared.  It was all kinds of complicated dishes, like casseroles and things.  There were no plates options.

The teachers in Fairfax make plenty of money.  I can't afford to send in gift cards - I've already done so for Christmas, and will do so again at the end of the year.  But this is ridiculous.

I do not have time for gardening!!  What world do you live in??  My priorities are work, work, and putting food on the table for my kid.  I don't have time even to help him with homework!  Have him make a card?  I can't even get him to brush his teeth and go to bed with 2 hours of nagging.

I'm guessing you don't work, or that if you do, you can afford things like landscapers, housekeepers, and babysitters.

Ok we get it.  Your life is hell-a busy.  Partly because your kid doesn't listen, apparently. You have no time to even maybe send an email saying "hey... thanks..."

Don't participate.  Nobody really cares that much.  But snarling at people who do have some time is ridiculous.  In the time you spent posting here you could have sent an email or written a quick note.

No... people don't ask Dad's to do this stuff.  Maybe some Dad's need to just step up and do it.[/quote]
