To think that the PTA is voluntary?

[malificent7]

I used to help the pta as and when i could with the Christmas fare etc.

Then i got more work so i had to stop. I will nog forget one of the PTA have a moan at me in the playground that some mhms were not pulling their wieght as they were not in the PTA. When i said id love to help but couldnt she said "we are all in the same boat" She didnt work.

Aibu to think that if you volunteer you shouldnt moan about people not volunteering for whatever reason!?

Voluntary means just that!

oklumberjack I don't think there's anything wrong with ad hoc meetings, and I guess if you are not on the committee, then there's no reason for you to know when the meetings are. But the whole thing does sound very uncommunicative and more difficult than it needs to be.

It's fucking thankless on so many levels
Isn't that the truth! Good thing that most people aren't in it for praise, or PTAs would just crumble and die out. I think they do an amazing job.

We make a point of no flowers or presents or singling anyone out.
