[QUOTE="klmno, post: 199345, member: 3699"] yeah, this is becoming an issue with me. It was a hard deal when I was taking difficult child all over the place to sell his scout popcorn, but we survived. then, it was all the school fundraisers hitting at once. I think we've gotten to a point where he goes alone right around our house, not far away, and if he sells it's fine, if he doesn't it's fine. Sometimes I'll see something in there that I can use or want so I'll buy it. Other than that, it's "I'm sorry, I can't do it right now". The only substantial thing I can offer is that if I hear of something the school really needs or the PTA is trying to put together, I will try to donate that. for instance, the PTA puts together gift baskets with different themes- actually it is parents who donate them- and then they auction them off as a fundraiser. I have no problem doing that because it is normally people associated with the school buying them so I know the school is getting a relatively good donation. Plus, it's fun. [/QUOTE]
