Ode to the Room Mothers
Amy at Milkbreath and Margaritas pens a great working mother’s ode to the room mother:
Thank you for organizing the class parties and offering to drive for the field trips. Thank you for all that you do to help the teacher throughout the year.
I’m not a room mother. I would get caught on a conference call and miss the party. I would get buried by a Very Important Project at work and mess up planning the Very Important Party at school.
I wish there wasn’t a need for anyone to feel guilty about anything, life would be a whole lot easier
Go read the rest.
I am both a working mom and a room mother for my son’s preschool. It’s hard juggling things around and getting to school on-time to talk to his teacher. But it’s worth it because I love taking a morning off to help in the classroom – the big beaming eyes of pride is totally worth it.
Also a few other mothers at the school referred me to Qlubb.com – a site that helps room parents coordinate classroom events and task assignments and reminders. so that’s been a big help – at least I can eliminate a lot of the email chains.
I am a room father and I thought this web site was wonderful and could benefit your room mothers/fathers (which of course make for happier teachers). I have attached the email information I received – please forward to help people like me – so they can save time and money (no running around) like me.
Thank You,
Dave
