[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I have learned from this topic:

1) Being a Room Mom sucks and the person does not get enough thanks. I did send a thank you note in a email response to my DS Room Mom because, wow does the job suck

2) Different schools/teahers/parents have ideas about what is an acceptable party and if pizza is needed

3) There are different ways to collect funds for parties and room activies. Demanding parents donate a set amount of money is bad.

4) Sign Up Genius is a good way to organize things, even pizza parties. Which most people think are stupid but others really like.

5) Even when Room parents ask for money as needed people are annoyed if there is too much money donated for teacher gifts because that is unacceptable.

6) But please bring in the supplies that the teacher or Room Mom asks for, such as note books and paper towels, even if you don’t want to pay for pizza or a teacher gift.

7) Being a Room Mom really, really sucks.  [/quote]

8) When a room mom collects for the group gifts, it is really her way of bribing the teacher so the teacher thinks the gift is just from her.

9) Don't do group gifts, we hate them.

10) Do group gifts, it is so much easier for us.

11) I love pizza parties around lunch time.

12) Why do kids need pizza parties?  Give them a cupcake on a free papertowel and call it a day.

13) Teachers only need a token gift, and by token I mean something really, really small.

14) Teachers need no gifts.  I don't even get to accept $1 where I work as a sign of appreciation.

15) Ask for $2 per family for the gift and call it a day.  She certainly doesn't need a gift more than once per year.

16) If you didn't step up and volunteer, keep your mouth shut and go with the flow and be thankful someone else is taking over a job you aren't doing.

17) I'm sick of these pushy room moms who overspend on everything.  Ever heard of Signupgenius?  Ask for everything to be donated.

18) Don't be a martyr.  If you don't have the funds and need to pay for things yourself, tell the teacher no.

19)  That's awful parents didn't pony up when asked.

20) I'm sick of being asked to pay for things.  If you want to pay for the pizza or notebook, go right ahead.  But that's on you.

See how no one sees this the same way?  I'm completely baffled I must associate with some of you throughout the year.  [/quote]
