[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thinking “working” Moms are the issue. My wife who was a SAHM with a 5, 9 and 11 year old at home did volunteer work at the Elementary school.

Mind you we lived 5 houses from school entrance. Maybe 350 foot walk.

Well the “working” moms quickly realized she was home by school. They would try to arrange “play dates” after school to get free baby sitting. Try to call last minute of a volunteer did not show up. Maybe her brownie troop leader. Class mom. Quickly she burnt out. The final straw the parents who volunteer to help with car drop offs in morning kept bugging her to volunteer. She kept saying no. Then one morning a banging in door from one mom demanding she come out. My wife was like I live  350 feet from school I don’t drive. She also knew 75 percent of drop offs were dads going to gym, moms to Starbucks. They all has time.

We moved and since then refuses to volunteer anything or tell single person she is home.

Some “working” moms lie and don’t have jobs just to get out of things. [/quote]

It goes both ways.  The working parents do seem to have an expectation that the Saha do the work without realizing that Sahp have reasons for being at home.  There is a huge expectation to provide free child care and transportation by some, not all and be on standby.  At our school, they push for the working parents to run things but sahp to actually do the work.   [/quote]
