AIBU?

Bloody PTA

I help on the PTA to raise funds for our school. I want the kids to have discos and school trips and a nice learning environment. I understand that the PTA is vital for this to happen.
What I didn't contemplate was how shitty other parents are? Complaining to the school that we won't allow a child to the disco without a ticket. (No-one has ever said this would be the case but a rumour was passed on)
People moaning about various other fundraisers. You don't want to take part fine but stop fucking complaining about other people doing things.
I feel like putting out an email saying, if you are unhappy about the service provided by the PTA please feel free to volunteer and do better or shut the fuck up.
I now can't see me staying on the PTA for another year. I can see why people are put off helping in the first place.
Aibu to think these other parents are entitled twats who need reminding that the rest of us on the PTA are doing it for the kids not for them.

Our school doesn’t have a PTA but our equivalent is very much appreciated. Yes, most of them are housewives who think they doing good blah blah blah but you know what? They actually make a meaningful contribution to the school community and arrange loads of great events that we enjoy and were all super thankful. Sorry that the parents at your school are so whiny and well done for helping out
