7 Moms to Avoid on the First Day of School

The picture of perfection. She loves her children, she loves her children’s school, she even loves your children. She loves all children and schools in America.

She wants you to do the same.

She will have you giving every penny you have for wrapping paper, apple pies, teacher gifts, teacher luncheons, field trips, book fairs . . . the list is endless.

But money is not enough.

She also wants your time.

It’s not enough to just write out a check to his maniac — she will have you running cash registers at farmers markets, hanging artwork for the art show, face painting at the school carnival . . . it never ends.

And there’s no hiding. She will email you. She will call you. She will pepper you with reminders, school updates, fliers, until you give in.

It’s not enough to give your money or your time.

She won’t stop until she has your soul.
