[quote=Anonymous]You need to start bailing this year. Do your parents live at least a couple of hours away? Other family members? Friend who had a baby?

A week or ten days before the next meeting you need to email and say due to health issues or some other reasons you need to visit your parents to help them so will not be available to run the next meeting and someone needs to cover. You need to start bailing from meetings NOW so people realize you are serious.

It’s like a game if chicken. You are so nice and helpful other parents don’t really believe you will stop helping out as much as you do. After the meeting you need to email again saying due to health needs /declining health of your parents you are not going to be as available. If no one contacts you to run the meeting or do what needs to be done then you need to do the same thing the following month. Be inconsistent. Really it is the only way some other parents will step up. And if you just now out other parents will be resentful. It doesn’t make sense for the deadbeats who don’t do anything to feel like that but that is often what happens. [/quote]
