[quote=Anonymous]Beginning and end of school year are going to have the most events so this won’t be typical. Depending on your school there may be more or less other work hour events but those are all optional and it’s totally okay not to volunteer to supervise every field trip or go to every music assembly. Personally, I tried to do at least some proportion for my kids sake, but if it’s a real hardship you can look for other solutions (ask grandma or a close family friend to come to one, send her to meet the teacher with a babysitter, make a big deal about the recorder concert and have friends send video that you watch together that evening while eating celebratory ice cream so kid knows you care even if you can’t be there). At our school with many working class families not having parents at everything definitely was the norm so kids don’t feel left out, but having at least one parent with flexibly is really helpful.[/quote]
