[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible some parents prefer to do their own givings for the teacher and don't want to do a group gift.

I'm one of those parents[/quote]

Because the room mom is not capable of making good choices. She doesn't represent me.[/quote]

Dude, give it a rest. I'm a room mom and planning on getting some stuff for the Halloween and valentine parties - which I assume your kid will attend - and a gift card at the holidays with a card.  you sound like a complete nightmare.[/quote]

What kind of Halloween and Valentine stuff are you getting? Popcorn, artificial tasting cupcakes and and candies? You can keep them to yourself, dear. My twins know what is good.[/quote]

You should hook up with the " I don't allow my kids one piece of Halloween candy" poster.  streamers for the room, craft supplies, pretzels dipped in chocolate, and a pumpkin with fruit skewers. Yes, a gift card for the teacher at the holidays and the end of the year. But we get it - you don't want to contribute. I have a feeling you're not invited to many things anyway.[/quote]

I contribute with educative stuff every month and a heavy check. Don't worry, dear. I appreciate I'm not invited to your crappy parties. I have enough of the good ones. :lol: [/quote]

God how insufferable.  I'm a room parent and if you are a parent in my kid's class, I hope you either step up and volunteer some extra time, or step up and throw in some extra money or keep your complaints to yourself.  Trying to plan three parties plus a teacher gift off of a budget of $20/child when you never get 100% of the families donating does not always allow for great creativity or choice when it comes to foods.  If your kid getting some grapes, carrot sticks and a mini cupcake at a school party is so offensive to you, by all means step up and donate the type of food you think should be served.  Keep in mind school policies on how things need to be store bought, and keeping in mind kids who have allergies.  Keep in mind that this is a school party.  For kids.  When you were a kid did you eschew cupcakes and popcorn?  I doubt it.   I do contribute my own money to cover some gaps, so your attitude is really frustrating to me.

I'm really hoping that poster is messing with us at is not an actual parent. If she is I really feel bad for her kids. And I'm not the type to say that normally.[/quote]
