Why does one mom always have to have an organized game for them?? Aren’t cupcakes and candy fun enough?! It’s like the one mom who insists we all get together one last time to have a soccer party when the season is over…..for 6 yr olds

I think the directive comes from the teacher. Not really her fault though. It’s just evolved into this, I guess.

That’s how I feel about chaperoning class trips! I feel guilty not volunteering and then I am miserable riding on that school bus. I would much rather fold laundry 🙂
not your average mom says
Yeah. I don’t even check off those “I’m willing to chaperone” boxes on the permission slips anymore.
DEANNA says
I don’t remember so many parents hanging around the schools when I was a kid. I actually enjoy going to these things and getting to know my son’s friends.

I wanted to add that I have one school aged child. I see some mom’s with three children in school who do so much for the school. It amazes and exhausts me.
Paige says
Trump! lol. Seriously, I don’t remember having so many parents at our class parties. Don’t really get this trend.
not your average mom says
I know the kids like it. But I fucking hate it.

Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way 😉
