I would talk to her about the weather the entire time and call her my bff, lol Also smile and wink at her, every chance you get.
I would have so much fun with her ......
LMAOOOOOOOO

I would totally do this.
If she's going to hate me, I'll give her a reason too.

The little guy in your avi is adorable!

Aww thank you! That's my little man, he's 6 and wants to be a rockstar when he grows up.

Those are called involved parents. It has nothing to do with brown nosing.

No, they can take it too far. When they have to tell you to stop volunteering because you have 50 volunteer hours and you are taking all the jobs so the parents that don't have their 18 hours yet can get them-its a problem. That actually happened with one mom I know. They told her in a nice way to stay home.

Like being there is not your job. If you want to be there that much get an actual job with the school.

She can be a classroom volunteer for her child/ren's classes without affecting other parents volunteer time. I did with all my children.

It's middle School and high school so the teachers don't need that much help

“The other moms are full of themselves”

Pot meet kettle.

its different. They are the types that hang around the school all the time trying to brown nose and get their kid ahead. I don't feel the need to do that.

because you are too busy doing that with his dance.

I don't hang around the dance studio either. I only volunteer probably 4 hours a year there

There was this uptight snobby woman that would help out in DS's class like I would when he was in elementary. She looked her nose down at everyone, like she was better than everyone else . She was always bragging about how big her house was...etc etc
One day she asked if DS could come over to her house to hang out with her son.
I drove to her house, which turned out to be a small apartment in the worst area of town. Im talking about drug dealers on the corner, drunks stumbling out of the deli and plopping down on their cardboard box/house, people hanging out on their steps drinking beer, arguing and blasting music,.....lol
Im not afraid of anyone or anything but this area made me very uncomfortable.....no way in hell was I going to let ds stay here for a few hours.
We went to the apartment and it made that show about hoarders look like childs play, smdh
I straight up told her that I was not going to let my son stay in her apartment or in this area but I could take her and her son with us to the park and to get pizza.
She let her son come with us that day for a few hours.
The next time I saw her at the school was a few weeks later, she asked me not to say anything to anyone about where she lived.......lol
I told her that I had no intention of telling anyone anything unless she turned into snobby bragging bitch mom again, lol

Good Luck

I love parental involvement. It shows in the kids efforts as well as what benefits it gives the school. The Mom who was asked to go home May need her clearances. At our school parents can volunteer without them up to 20 hours and at hour 21 will be sent home. I actually take personal days so i can volunteer at the boys school.

This doesn't shock me honestly. Just during basketball season (August-November) we have to pledge 15 hours of time to work concessions and take money. We also have to give them a $150 check at the beginning of the season. You don't put in your 15 hours in those couple of months, they cash your check on you. This is at a Catholic school on top of it, so you're already paying a mortgage payment a month in tuition. Draconian! LOL

Idk about volunteering but one time I complained about school supplies to my boss who sent his dd to a Catholic school. He said at Catholic school they figure the parents are well to do so they ask for a lot more. And if you don't tithe properly you lose your scholarship. Idk about volunteering. Ds did it for a college scholarship. Did 100 hours. Some of that I went along but I personally don't need volunteer hours for anything. Parents are expected to do some volunteer for scouting mostly fundraising.
