There's a way.

There was a bazaar at my children's school today. This is one of annual events which is held to gather people and money. Some people say fundraising is a must for any PTA's activities at school; however, I'm a bit skeptical about the notion.

Visitng a bazaar is fun. Children look very happy, and guardians can get to know each other through preparing for bazaars. I admit it; of course, but holding a bazaar sometimes can be someone's annoyance. Some kids need to be without their mothers until the end of the bazaar, because their mothers are quite busy for preparing. They can't enjoy a bazaar with their mothers, because their mothers have to fundraise.

I used to be a member of a school committee; I had to be at school almost every day, and my children needed to wait for me until I could take a rest.
"Why can't you stay with us?" my daughter asked. I couldn't say anything but "Because I have a job."

I think that's why many mothers are reluctant to take a responsibility for their school's activity. Mothers like to enjoy a bazaar with our children, not to take part in fundraiser.
Having said that, it wouldn't be good for us to avoid joining our school's activities as a member of PTA. What shall we do...?
