Received a letter today from dds school, asking parents if they’d like to schedule a time to do an activity for the class next week as part of an emphasis on family. Natural reaction was ‘God no’ but now I think about it, I think Dd would enjoy it and be proud of us, but what sort of activity does it generally mean?
Dd is 5

Every single parent makes it to our kids things. Ones who work will always send 1 parent if they can't make it. I'm surprised you seem to think no other parents will bother going 😅

In your experience, in your school.

My husband and I both work, he’s a farmer and I’m based in an office an hours drive away, I cannot justify pissing away annual leave to help on trips/come in for cairn services/ man the disco etc etc etc every month and neither can a lot of parents in my children’s school, a lot of people have two working parents in a family unit.
