His teacher was very nice and understanding, but I really can't focus if I'm worried she's going to run out of the room, or ruin something. I've also stopped giving reasons why I can't. It will never be a "good enough" reason why I can't do something. If they can't handle that reason, I guess that's their problem. Glad that I'n not the only one getting the guilt trip.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010215117936484317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788873847797062626.post-50358415268408231882009-02-12T08:54:00.000-08:002009-02-12T08:54:00.000-08:00This is something that I haven't figured out eithe...This is something that I haven't figured out either. What frys me the most about this is that if you worked a regular 9-5 job this would never happen. But because we "stay home" (but really, are we ever home?) they think we just hang out in our bath robe catching up on Days of our lives. GRR. I feel your pain sista! <BR/> Bug's school expects me to volunteer once a month in the class room, which I don't have a problem with. But I just got "the talking to" last time that they would rather not have any other kids with me. So I have to put them in daycare? Does this not defeat the whole stay at home mom thing? I told them that I could not do this and they threw a fit reminding me of my responsibilities to my child's education. ??!! Really?? So yeah good times :)Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289271311266698819noreply@blogger.com
