[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can’t commit to the hours to volunteer, then your kid(s) don’t get to participate on the summer swim team. I think that’s that fuss. You can’t say you want your kid to participate in an activity and also say you don’t have time to make the activity run.[/quote] THIS. Dh and I are both working parents and we both make time to volunteer for summer swim because we recognize how much it takes to make the experience happen for the kids. Most of the parents who volunteer the most are working parents. It’s hard and tiring, but it’s part of the activity. If you don’t want to put your time in, that’s totally fine, but then don’t sign your kids up for summer swim. Put them in another camp or activity that doesn’t need as much volunteer time to run. And that’s fine! But don’t act like you’re busier than the rest of us but your kid deserves to have the fun and be part of the team if you’re not planning to help in any way. Something has to give.
