Around Thanksgiving the kids are told they have to sell $50 of Yankee Candle in order to go to the school dance. As a single mom to 2 of her grandkids, that's a lot for her to take on, especially during the holidays. It is wrong on so many levels to punish a child because they can't sell enough shit for the school. I HATE school fundraisers and refuse to participate, with the exception of Mariah's a few years back where she sold Port-O-Pit in order to place the Easter Wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And that was only because it was a once in a lifetime experience!

I do however always buy from Scholastic, the book fair, donate time in the classroom, and donate tons of box tops.<br /><br />I was getting stresses at the constant asks for money last year, and felt compelled to give, give, give. This year, I just don't. I am way happier about it too.mail4roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850985344834209198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-63009046519353048792015-03-06T06:38:21.002-06:002015-03-06T06:38:21.002-06:00I am completely against this sort of school fundra...I am completely against this sort of school fundraiser. It's not cool to tease the kids with a "cool" prize and then tell them they can't have it unless they collect some outrageous amount of money. I don't do school fundraisers at all anymore.Masshole Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336689382200054448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-56140349205425018122015-03-05T20:54:47.742-06:002015-03-05T20:54:47.742-06:00Yes I'm picky too.

Mainly because there are so many out there, and also I think that people must make an effort to help themselves first before relying on other people's aid.<br /><br />Ai @ <a href="http://www.sakuraharuka.com/" rel="nofollow"> Sakura Haruka </a> Ai Sakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647203995385379898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639909808542124326.post-88099070146186536402015-03-05T17:41:32.324-06:002015-03-05T17:41:32.324-06:00Very picky; too many folk do it for the wrong reas...Very picky; too many folk do it for the wrong reasons.The Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482237436135513483noreply@blogger.com
