[quote=Anonymous]I'll be 58 when the youngest graduates from high school in a few years. Yes, I tire more easily. I pick and choose my school involvement with much care these days. Yes, I can volunteer at the school for two hours. No, I am not going on the field trip. At this point (we have a HS sophomore this year, youngest child), it is up to our kid to take the report card reins. Our youngest missed half of 6th and all of 7th to virtual learning -- there is a curve to make up for lost studying habits. We're here to help as needed, but you cannot send them off to college if they cannot self manage. It's a delicate balance. But I definitely have pulled back on the school volunteering to about 5%. I'm 55 and in menopause. It's time to let the 40 year old moms step up.[/quote]
