Wysiwyg - although my children aren't yet school age, it never ceases to amaze me the pressure put on working mums by schools to attend events. The amazing mums I work with struggle enough with balancing work and family without being made to feel bad about not attending weekly events. The same pressures don't seem to be placed on the fathers. Surely things will have to change soon with 65 percent of mothers in full or part time employment.
