I resent every single second I spend on Pre-school stuff. Perhaps I am fundamentally selfish but I would rather be doing something nice for me during what little snatches of 'spare time' I can find. I don't want to do the role, and accordingly quite honestly I am putting in a poor effort re leadership, direction, motivation etc. It's a bit of a rudderless ship currently.
Thing is nobody else wants to be the Chair.
Yet I am patently useless. I could be really good - (i.e have the abilities) but I don't have the ownership / inclination. Call it what you will.
I sort of feel that I should resign - but then....what would I give as my reason? If I was honest (i.e. listen guys - I don't give a monkey's about all this stuff) I could alienate a few people (and these are local mums, potential friends and at the very least mothers of my children's pre-school and school friends)
Moreover presumably the Pre-school would be in trouble with no Chair at all. I imagine it is a fundamental requirement of continuing registration.
Oh bugger. Can't think my way out of a paper bag atm.

I am person who can't say 'no' (got me into a few scrapes in my youth I can tell you) so consquently wound up with the Chair of Pre-School role. I am so not signed up to it and am doing them a disservice I think. What now?
