Let me start by saying that the group of parents that are helping with 5th grade activities and fund-raisers this year are great and plentiful! It really has been a great turn out, with many hands making for much lighter work! We just held our annual family dinner where the 5th graders serve their families and anyone else from the school that wants to participate. The many moms (and some dads) that worked their butts off gathering donations, securing permits, sending countless emails, and selling raffle tickets in order for the night to go off without a hitch - are relieved that it's over. Not only that, but it went well! The kids were great, bellies were full and we made an outstanding profit to help with our moving up activities!
Now turning to the dark side... I'm sure there's always one of these parents out there but that doesn't make it easier to deal with. There is a mom who feels the need to criticize and compare every event we've hosted! She had the nerve to say that our dinner was the most poorly run event she'd seen! How dare she! The kids did great, we made a better profit than previous years and......oh yeah, SHE DIDN'T LIFT ONE FINGER TO HELP!!!! I'm sorry but if you think you can do a better job than the rest of us - then by all means, get off your ass and do something!
