[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did for the 1st 5 years but noticed there is always too much and the parent in charge just gives them out to go home.

[b]I volunteer to fund 10 bored moms standing around because 2 were enough[/b].

It’s poor planning on the planners part so I stopped being part of the madness.

I’m the treasurer for the sports committee instead but you don’t know that because I don’t need validation from moms seeing I contribute.[/quote]

YES YES YES -- I don't want to fund other parents volunteering for pointless activities, even if they do spend considerable time attempting to make me feel less-than because I don't helicopter to the same extent![/quote]

It's so true but the super-volunteer moms won't hear it. I do not donate or volunteer for anything that is not teacher/classroom given anymore because I realized most of that stuff is just moms giving other moms tasks for no reason. If a teacher says "we need XYZ or a teacher volunteer for this activity" I'm all over that. The teacher has a freaking classroom plan and curriculum and also has no interest in having a bunch of bored parents standing around her classroom for no reason. But PTAs regularly plan events essentially so parents can stand around and pretend they are helping. It's a circle jerk and I have other stuff to do. No thank you.[/quote]
