[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or maybe kids parents work 60 -80 hour weeks.  That should not preclude a child from being on team.  That is just nasty.  Volunteering should not just be tit for tat.  It should be about giving of yourself because my goodness you are blessed with something to give. [/quote]

I worked 70+ hours a week with a husband who was gone 3 weeks a month. I volunteered fully, including timing when I had a 3 year old in tow. [/quote]
I volunteer with two other organizations.
Sorry, not sorry - won’t be volunteering at swimming.

This response is absurd. What does volunteering for 2 other organizations have anything to do with swim team volunteer obligations? You can feel free to just tell your kid that you don’t have room in the schedule for swim team obligations and not sign them up. It’s not other parents’ responsibility to subsidize your volunteer priorities. Are we supposed to just bow down and pick up your slack because you have deemed other volunteer obligations to be more important? Get over yourself. [/quote]
It’s because 90% of the parents do ZERO in the other two organizations. Email after email asking for volunteers. Nada. But these same parents want a third timer for 8 year olds. F off.[/quote]
Wait, so you are telling me that the exact same parents are part of these other organizations and the swim team? Because if not, you realize the swim team parents think of you with the same contempt that you have for the parents in these other organizations, because as a swim team parent you are as awful as the parents in the other organizations that you despise so much?
