school supplies!

Where I *did* have complaints and had sympathy with other parents' complaints was the short lead times that schools and activities like Scouts sometimes give parents. If a child comes home even as far ahead as a Monday night with a homework project due Friday that calls for a different size milk carton than usually bought in that household, that can mean an extra grocery trip which impacts the household evenings where meals have to be served, activities have to be attended, bedtimes observed, etc. etc. There seemed to be an assumption of an SAH parent who can run errands any given day. Hear Hear! My school is very reasonable on costs and projects etc. I don't really have complaints about it but this one is very difficult sometimes. And to echo one of your other posts our issue last year was a shoe box. My son needed a shoe box. Well my house doesn't have shoe boxes in it. So I load up all 4 kids and go trudging down to K-Mart to find a shoe box - on a week night - when I have about 3 hours between off work and bedtime to manage what needs to be managed for 4 small kids. You can imagine how happy they all are to go shopping in the freezing cold dark winter night when they are either hungry (before supper) or tired (after supper). -- Nikki |
