[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL is the Performative PTA President and fancies herself as a 1950s housewife. She coordinates all sorts of teacher goodie bag distributions and is big into party favor type things for every occasion. I wish someone would tell her to stop.

She’s turned into the crazy lady who makes bags of goodies and leaves out for the mailman, the UPS driver, kids walking to school. She’s in a semi rural area adjacent to a Main Street.

In this type of area, this behavior is fine and sometimes expected and appreciated. At least it was when I lived in a rural town. There was so little to do that the holidays made life exciting.

In an urban area, with so much congestion to fight and where everything takes longer, very few people want to bake cookies or eat cookies from people they don't know. In a smaller rural area, they know who you are and know to throw away the cookies from the cat lady but eat the delicious ones from suzy homemaker. If I was a teacher in the dc area, I would throw most of those cookies away if I didn't know who cooked them. In rural usa, I would know the person and probably eat them. [/quote]
