However, only 11 adults volunteered their time to coach, my husband (who is already commissioning the whole thing) being one of them.<BR/><BR/>As my husband makes phone call after phone call BEGGING parents to help out ... spending hours upon hours of his time ... no one would. Then, those very people are the first ones to COMPLAIN when we informed them that if we didn't have coaches, their child wouldn't be playing.<BR/><BR/>DRIVES ME NUTS!<BR/><BR/>Brace yourself ... as the girls get older, it will only get worse ... unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067962.post-37032805887679624682008-05-19T21:41:00.000-05:002008-05-19T21:41:00.000-05:00I am always signing up for things, and have never ...I am always signing up for things, and have never understood why people wouldn't want too. It frustrates me that the teachers have to ask for help, when the parents should be more than willing.The Fritz Factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162992338469733361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067962.post-18371633962545940992008-05-19T19:35:00.000-05:002008-05-19T19:35:00.000-05:00When a sign up sheet is involved, I bring the trea...When a sign up sheet is involved, I bring the treats, and bring more than i said I would. the only bad thing is - due to the fact that there are so many methlabs in the area, they require that all snacks are pre-wrapped, store bought items. YUCK.<BR/><BR/>But that's what I'll do -I'll have the local deli bring cookies etc.Fantastagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415501560624761755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067962.post-42483989546555150872008-05-19T14:50:00.000-05:002008-05-19T14:50:00.000-05:00We have the same situation at my son's little "sch...We have the same situation at my son's little "school". In fact, the teacher recently joked with me that they call me "cupcake mama" because I'm the only one that will whip up something homemade.... I guess I should look on the bright side because we do have several that will ante up for a bag of chips or a pack of napkins!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786838392389718536noreply@blogger.com
