PS. It also irks me when I get dirty looks from other parents about not being involved in the Kinder working bee or fundraising BBQ. Sorry, but OHS means I can't bring my kids with me, and sorry, but I can't afford to pay for babysitting while I 'find my community spirit' and get involved. This is why I do the book orders instead, so I can still contribute, it's just that because it's a solo gig I'm not visibly out there contributing. It gets me down to feel put upon because i don't appear to be as supportive of my kids as other parents. Besides which, by the weekend I probably don't have the spoons for it anyway, I don't have a hubby around to help out in the evenings or let me sleep in on the weekends ... or look after the kids while I'm out at the working bee.
