With less than a week until the end of term I'm expecting that any day now I will find notes in my children's bags asking me to donate goodies for their class parties.
I used to bake cup-cakes but last time I forgot and just bought a packet of oreos on the way to school. They all got eaten, they didn't leave crumbs on the classroom floor and I didn't have to worry about getting my tupperware back. I think it might have been cheaper than ingredients for baking too.
Sooo.... am I really slack Mum for thinking that maybe I should just buy a couple of packets of tim-tams or oreos when I go shopping today and stash them away for the class party? Is baking really part of the parenting contract? I'm a SAHM so I don't have any excuse except laziness

In my defence I always produce baked goods for the cake stalls etc.
