I stopped participating in anything school-related that I had either done before and found to be a waste of time and/or had become overly complicated. That alone eliminated so much!

I quit the following: attending PTA meetings, Back to School Nights, Parent Coffees, Set Up/Clean Up Events Staff, Pre Game Happy Hours (ahead of HS team), hosting family (team) dinners in-house, End of Year class and or team parties, to name just a few.

There is immense freedom in saying no or not participating and opting out. [/quote]

Do a lot of people enjoy all those things? I feel terrible in a way, but I do not. Growing up my parents did absolutely none of this aside from back to school night, simply because it didn't exist. There is too much pressure on parents to do too many things and be so involved. I'm not sure it benefits the kids in any way. Meanwhile, the one thing I wish I could always attend are games and meets, and those get scheduled ridiculously early, sometimes at 4.30 even. Yet most people seem to attend. [/quote]

Some people don't, some people do. The great thing about being an adult is that you get to choose how you spend your time. [/quote]
