I know this happens because it happened to me several times. The last time I volunteered, when they called me asking me to help, I told them right out that if I showed up and no one would talk to me and tell me what I should do, I would leave straight off....I would no longer stand around begging these people to recognize the fact that I, too, was a parent and a human being and that I had come to help and PLEASE tell me what I can do....no, I would just leave. Guess what. I left. These women that volunteered year after year had no use for me once I showed up. Maybe I wasn't up to par for their dress code....maybe I was too heavy....maybe I didn't live in their exclusive neighborhoods. But I had taken time off work to give and was completely and totally ignored as if I was invisible. Please take care and don't treat parents that way. Because that is why you get only the same parents helping out with each party. Because when the others come to help, they are treated as aliens. I know. I have been there.Leave It To Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510401202733633537noreply@blogger.com
