Still sorry though - totally obnoxious and frustrating - you want I should bring my whips and beat some sense into these hussies? In my current state I could also hack green gray phlegm on them - bet that would get them in line!Mommygothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584517101798904292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-26523144252664775542006-11-15T15:25:00.000-08:002006-11-15T15:25:00.000-08:00God, I was secretary for the soccer boosters.....H...God, I was secretary for the soccer boosters.....HATED IT!!!

You are right these people think of it as babysitting. <br /><br />People suck sometimes.cubmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030503566130596829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-61846273168410606752006-11-15T13:26:00.000-08:002006-11-15T13:26:00.000-08:00I, too, have those moments.

Everything that you are saying makes sense. Why wouldn't these parents want to help and be there when needed? Because they have put their kids in Brownies so they could have free time. A cheap babysitter.<br /><br />It was the same for me when I taught TKD. Three hours of babysitting a week for only $40 a month. What a deal.<br /><br />And then when it came time for testing and we told them their child wasn't really they were all "What are you talking about? My kid is AWESOME!"<br />And we were all "Oh really? How would you know since you always drop them off and leave and haven't ever stayed to watch a class and witness their horsing around, not paying attention and slacking off."<br />And they're all "But we paid our money they should just get to pass to the next level."<br />Yeah. Okay.<br /><br />I'm not bitter either.Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581319298585887199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-72946421208975378742006-11-15T12:08:00.000-08:002006-11-15T12:08:00.000-08:00what the hell WERE you thinking? i'd kill myself ...what the hell WERE you thinking? i'd kill myself before i'd sign on for that brand of torment. of course, as one who was kicked out of girl scouts at age 11, i've made it a point to distance myself from that organization...Mitzi Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924366481274530148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-58855753548593105112006-11-15T11:58:00.000-08:002006-11-15T11:58:00.000-08:00I guess I lucked out.

I do bring the snacks. I'm suppose to ask for sign ups but since not much is asked from us I figure that's the least I can do. I don't think our troop is the most active compared to others. My daughter did remark when she was in Brownies her friend in another troop had more try-its.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
