[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op is the type of woman who doesn’t work outside the home so to make herself feel busy and important and as if she has a job, she takes very small things like being team mom incredibly seriously and spends an hour on an email update.

However, those of us who DO work outside the home and have to jiggle a million tasks and keep up with a work inbox and myriad requests at our job don’t keep up with personal email on a daily basis and miss her stuff. I check my personal email maybe twice a week. So I might miss some stuff but I’m not a pain in the ass about it. I won’t ask you to catch me up. It’s just that I might not contribute to some canned food drive or whatever because I missed the email to bring it in. The world spins madly on. [/quote]

Nope, I’m OP and I do work outside the home. You are not busier than I am. But I make the time to help organize my kids’ activities. Parents like you who never help out because you are somehow busier than the rest of us is one thing. But when you don’t even take the time to read (very short) instructions about what your kid needs to show up with, that is totally disrespectful to your kid who is benefitting from the experience and the volunteers who are organizing it for you.

Nobody cares as seriously as you. So just chill. You’re so worked up because the other parents don’t feel as intensely about this activity. The solution  is you need to dial it down and care at their level then. [/quote]

If you don’t care then do t sign your kid up for the activity. Your lack of caring affects the rest of the group when we have to accommodate your kid who is unprepared or late or whatever. You don’t deserve the things other volunteers organize for your kid. I feel sorry for your kid who surely knows you do t care.[/quote]
