Not related to giftedness... But ugh. Remind me never to volunteer for homeroom mom again... My co-homeroom mom is a total pain in the a$$... and these moms all wanting to come and hang out at an hour class party for 7 year olds where the kids eat cupcakes - making such a big deal out of it... and then there are five adults in the room with no one actually helping at all mind you just hanging out chatting... Ugh, Ugh and Double Ugh. They really should outlaw this crap.
Okay rant over ....
for now

Don't be a girl scout leader either. My co-leader and I used to say it would have been easier just to adopt a tribe of crack-addicted monkeys.

LOL  I feel better And co-homeroom mom is on such a power trip ... which is fine to a certain extent b/c I like taking a back seat on this stuff but, still, at least treat me with some courtesy and respect .. I'm not your minion! Sadly, I know I'll probably do it again b/c I wouldn't feel right not doing for my younger one after putting in time for my older one... But UGH.

 Yup. Crack-addicted monkeys. YES.

The first few years after ever meeting I felt I needed a strong drink when I got home. It made very very appreciative of the teachers.

That's true. Up to a point. 4-H means teenagers, who are rather notorious for their narcissistic, moody, sociopathic tendencies at the best of times. All of the work and angst of room mom with little of the associated prestige, let's just say, and the same parental push/gracelessness to go with it. Oh, sure, we'll rearrange EVERYTHING for the other ten kids so that your precious Princess can play volleyball and come to each meeting... of course we will... even though Princess has made it clear that she regards everyone else here as being somewhat below "Road Kill" on her list of disgusting things she'd rather not have anything to do with... but sure.

In my case... it is not the kids... It's the moms! OMG - what a bunch of cliquey, passive-aggressive, superficial $%#@*^!
