So on the eve of Back to School I am trying to make the decision of whether or not to volunteer to be my son’s room Mom? Yup, that is the very important question at hand.
You see, I was my daughter’s room Mom when she was in Kindergarten two years ago and I kinda feel like I shuold do it for my son too. I’m an organizer by nature, love to plan parties, research themes, crafts, make the flyers, e-mail, get everyone involved and excited. I realize that the room Mom can sometimes be annoying, but what’s more annoying is a room Mom that sucks.
Now, apart of me knows that I will not have a lot of time to take on this responsibility and I don’t like to do anything half-ass. So that is why I am hesitant to take on this task. It’s funny, because either I am all hands on deck or I am the Mom who is like “What! The party is today?”
Even if I am not the room Mom, we always support our school by attending all the fundraisers, volunteering, donating classroom supplies for the teacher’s wish lists and just getting our kids to school on time. Not everyone has the time to do everything and no one should feel pressure to do it all (at least not by themselves). So maybe I will ask if there can be Co-Room Mom? Divide and Conquer!?
