I am just plain sick and tired of these damn fundraisers that the gov't schools keep passing out to us parents. I realize that it is not a requirement to buy anything,but the kids don't see it that way. Things are not good at work,so my coworkers are reluctant to purchase anything. Family doesn't have any need for the crap they want us to sell either.You can imagine how many fundraisers we have already had, since we have 4 kids living with us. Already, we have had 2 school fundraises for each child,and that doesn't include activities outside of school. (Karate, Boy Scouts). We still have 7 boxes of Popcorn left over from Boy Scouts alone!
Last night, my son hands me an order form from band to sell cookie dough. 3 pound buckets! Who on God's green Earth is going to buy that at $12.00 a pop?
If I am lucky,I may sell 2 or 3. He told me his goal is to sell 13 of them. That just will not happen,with all his homework,activities and etc.....What I really have a problem with, is that I have already paid for his uniform,instrument,etc already. The ex doesn't pay child support,doesn't purchase anything, and refuses to be involved in any way,so it's all up to me.
Maybe I should put the teachers names down on the order form.... and in early March, when the order arrives....Uhhh, Ms. Fletcher,Your order is here!
