New sahm with some questions
| Thu, 11-11-2004 - 10:38pm |
When I worked I would use vacation days to be part of the holidays at my daughter's school. I would donate items and help with parties. The same with her girlscouts. Now that I have more time I would like to help even more. But there's few things. One I have to bring my baby with me to school (I know another mom who is always helping and has her baby with her) but I feel uncomfortable. Plus Im afraid of taking another mom's spot or light. I dont want to that at all. I love planning things with kids and usually have great ideas....so I am told. I often feel out of place when I get involved at school. Will this feeling pass? I am not shy and strike up conversations etc but still feel uncomfortable. I live in a very very very small town and everyone knows me and my family.
For those of you involved what could I do?
Thanks Eileen

I love helping out and love helping out with my sosn class and school.
There is just a few problems. I am not asked often because I am a young mom and they think I am not responsible enough to do much, so they tend to ask the older moms. And then there is my son, they do not allow siblings to the school, so it limits me to what I can do.
I try to do they work I can bring home, but they still refuse to let me, they give it to someone else.
I think you should go for helping, they wont mind you trying to help along with another mom, I am sure the more people to help, the better.
Good luck and you are awesome for trying so hard to help out.
I have 2 younger (a preschool & 2yr old) so I don't take them with me unless it is for a very short amount of time. I'm just always filling out the volunteer forms as they come home. Good luck, Sam
