BUT, we did at the end of the year a school trip to Kennywood. That I remember, and it was worth trading in 2 parties a year to get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-38547143524640137702011-04-06T14:21:13.580-05:002011-04-06T14:21:13.580-05:00We have one of those in my son's class too, ou...We have one of those in my son's class too, ours is a combo of a nazi Martha Stewart and Barbi...she rarely volunteers to help, but shows up to every class event and tries to "show" the teacher and room moms better ways to handle the events. The last party she commented to me and another mom I was talking to that we "must like to go for the more comfortable clothes" when we come to school events...wow, thanks hon, I guess I missed the memo about the dress code at the kindergarten Valentine's partyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814109836875830416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-63647347549099877062011-01-25T17:13:59.317-06:002011-01-25T17:13:59.317-06:00One thing I left out was when she told me that she...One thing I left out was when she told me that she really hoped to be able to be room mom for her kid that is in the grade with William next year. I told her that I hoped that she could too because I sure as hell wasn't doing it again.Counting Caballeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468483600948636452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-10371333985046668962011-01-25T16:54:15.193-06:002011-01-25T16:54:15.193-06:00I am pretty sure I would not have been as nice as ...I am pretty sure I would not have been as nice as you & more than likely the dial tone would have been involved!!!!!!Candihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995021996457640960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-58054292630530406642011-01-25T07:15:23.287-06:002011-01-25T07:15:23.287-06:00Elemenary Nazi!!

And news for you, not only will her kids be druggies, it sounds as if Polly Perfect has some chemical help of her own! And when she comes floating down the hall on the cloud of pixie dust while perfectly coiffed (God forbid pre-tweens see her sans makeup or in jeans)just remember how miserable her life must be that she finds fulfillment in being an elementary school nazi.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825858321049863152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-5514898976496387562011-01-24T22:19:07.847-06:002011-01-24T22:19:07.847-06:00Oh my word.

I hated that it was made into a competition of who gave the best parties, best teacher gifts, best crafts, etc. The worst part was the condescending "Head Room Mom" who worked full-time, had the "most talented child in the whole school", threw the BEST class parties, and still had time to bake gluten-free cupcakes for the kids in her class who couldn't partake in the normal treats that the other kids could. Can you tell this post hits a nerve with me?!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802590833818149326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-68229707604678622112011-01-24T20:47:08.604-06:002011-01-24T20:47:08.604-06:00I will totally be picturing this woman hovering on...I will totally be picturing this woman hovering on her pixie dust cloud as the animals try to eat her and her kids get high.

News for ya helicopter mom: Your kid IS TOTALLY gonna be the druggie.<br />Who can take the pressure of a woman who insists that every class party should be memory-making??<br />And don't even get me started on your overly bureaucratic school. WOW. <br />I have been a class mom for 3 years now. I send out an email to the parents. They send stuff in, a few show up, we let the kids party and eat snacks. Done. <br />Guess I should count my blessings...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678933503618590263.post-85386400356364212972011-01-24T18:28:00.180-06:002011-01-24T18:28:00.180-06:00What a b****!
