Thanks girls. Yep, I imagine I am not so alone as I feel
It just feels like a lot of pressure and it's probably my state of mind at the moment more than anything. But I do wonder how we're going to cope when the homework comes in! If she's anything like I was she's going to need a lot of... erm... motivation from her parents to actually *do* her homework, lol. Even now she's not mad-keen on doing her readers. Too damn tired!
I digress. Thanks for the understanding & kind words. xx
I completely understand. I feel like I'm on the outter because I don't do daily drop off and pick up at school. I get to do it once a week. I don't do class helper because I work 4 days.
I did join the PA which meets twice a term and organises fundraising stuff. But I am finding this too much at the moment - more so the politics. I'm hoping next year will be a little easier because I'll be on Mat Leave.
I hope next year's better for you, MG.
And I get the drop-off/pick-up clique thing too. I'm fortunate in that there are two mums I know from playdates and they usually invite me in to the convo when I'm collecting Nat.
I could have written your post word for word! I do tuck shop once a term as it is on one of my non working days. I too hate the school pick up/drop off clique. I now stay in the car till the bell goes.
It is hard. Not sure there really is an answer.....
The school pick up clique is something that worried me at first. I am not terribly confident in groups where I don't know people. I say blow them and turn up and stand there anyway, in doing that I have a few that I can talk (who were like me, not confident) to and some really just aren't worth my time or head space
