I like my kid’s teacher. She is great.
But when did school become a year long gift registry?
There was Christmas, teacher appreciation week, her birthday, end of year, classroom supplies, fundraiser baskets and some spring thing I still do not understand.
The class mom keeps sending reminders with suggested amounts. Suggested, my ass. It feels like a bill with smiley faces.
I already donate snacks, tissues and enough glue sticks to repair a small house.
Now they want twenty dollars per family for a spa gift card.
Can I just have my kid write a nice note, or does that make me the cheap mom?
Now the comments get a turn.
Read the room, state your case, and try not to become the reason the next submission exists.
