While I agree with this, in general, I think some room moms can be pretty aggressive, for lack of a better word, when it comes to things that they are very vested in. I do think that excluding children from the card list is pretty standard practice -- maybe this is regional ?
OK, maybe I am wrong here. I have a problem differentiating what is normal a lot of the time. I often think that people do things a certain way and find out that they don't. I don't know why that is. My husband tells me that my expectations of others are too high. He says that I expect from others exactly what I give and it isn't realistic. I guess that is a back handed compliment, but maybe people aren't as altruistic as I think they are.
I do think the room parent in my DD class this year is super aggressive and actually quite offensive, so I bet you are right (this is probably more normal) and I am wrong. I find myself seriously disappointed these days.
Sorry to Val!! LOL
