I have four grown children. The youngest is 24. I was in PTA , Girl Scouts and church. I had a job outside of the home. The real problem is people who never volunteer and then complain why activities are not happening. Volunteering in moderation teaches our children how to care for others. What happens when there is no one to Venmo or give donations to?
100% agree. People need to stop signing their kids up for activities that need volunteers. If they don't want to volunteer these parents need to only do drop and go activities.
Life goes on. There are entire countries that don’t do this and life goes on. Bored mothers who fill up their time with made up “projects” isn’t a universal “norm.”
This!!!!!!! Thank you. The rest of us are volunteering double so kids can still DO things and be involved in things. Full time working mom here and I still find time to volunteer, so our kids can have these experiences.
You’re pressured into it but not forced. Force implies there’s no ability to say no. Pressures means you wouldn’t feel comfy if you said no because of a potential judgement from others.
As a mom that just got done raising 6...last one dropped at college 2 weeks ago...I DO NOT know how I survived. Good for her...wish I had the BRAVERY to do this myself!
Word of advice...they don't need volunteers if you minimize how many organized activities you sign your kids up for. Scale back, let them play outside. You will save time and money.
I do both, pay for everything, work 60 hours a week and then spend my weekends making sure the kids are involved in school functions .. I have 3 children that live with me and 3 that are grown and on their own.. I have a 24 year old that is finishing law school a 20 year old that works full time and lives out of state a 19 year old in college a 15 year old that lives out of state a 13 year older and a 5 year old ... If I don't do everything they have nothing.. my wife passed away suddenly with no prior warnings she was sick ... Luckily I have my life long childhood best friend to help me run the house and make sure I don't die 😂 but on one hand I can relate with the woman in the video and on the other hand I thing she's selfish and self centered and it will just get worse as it goes on.. so I want to work 12 hours a day come home cook clean do homework make sure the younger kids are at least bathed and fed.... A lot of what happens in my house comes down to multitasking, time management and the help of my older kids and best friend.. hopefully when they're old and grown the kids will remember the example I set and do the same for their kids... Along with pampering their old man for all his hard work and determination 😂😂
@@grahambrown4202 77% of women work today. So, no, the dads aren't paying for EVERYTHING. Ya'll can't use that as an excuse to get out of raising your kids anymore. There should be plenty of Dads among those volunteering too. I blame the schools though, in part, also for always assuming it's going to be the moms responsible for parenting. Even the language they use, they should be saying "moms and dads," not just "moms"
@@edpenkalski8937 I can certainly appreciate your struggles & as a retired person, I’m always very appreciative to have put that part of my life in the past. As a woman, I think it’s really important that everyone know that many men struggle too. Best of luck!
I’ve done both. Room moms are usually pretty pushy, kiss the booties of the teachers in hopes of preferential treatment for their child, so often times there is no room to volunteer because they’ve signed up for everything. When my youngest was in 1st grade, I was helping two other moms with a task and one of them started spazzing out over the position of a poster board. I went back to work full time shortly after that.
Healthy boundaries!!! It’s ok to say no! Reality today is most moms work AND care for kids and home. As a single mom with her own company I am always there for my son, but I have to pick and choose what I can attend / volunteer for and I am not apologizing for it.
I counted on other moms to help out on volunteer days! Those that really helped out were a god send. The children still remember me and the projects we worked on. The class looked forward to these special events. The children are all grown up now with children of their own. I was in my 40’s then, had two kids and stayed home this time. We already had 4 children that were grown. I wouldn’t trade those days for anything. I was in each child’s classroom once a week and gave art lessons once a month through elementary school. We all loved it. My husband and I also assisted coached with baseball and basketball for years. It’s some of the best time we spent with our kids and got to know their friends. I’m 70 now watching my grandchildren grow up! Volunteering is hard work, without it, your children won’t have the same opportunities. Many volunteers are also jigging a busy schedule. We must all learn our limits and learn how to say no sometimes.
Oftentimes the parents in my child’s school gossip, mostly about school staff, socialize among each other or engage with their phone. That’s what I want to avoid at all cost. Unfortunately, the teacher or librarian or secretary loses out on that volunteer’s time and talent.
I'm a Dad that volunteers, does the Watchdog program (keeps the kids safe) , signs up first to be a chaperone for field trips and loves to be room Dad. Full time job as a Director for a Engineering Prototype lab...no excuses..you make time for what you want..she obviously had the time to make a video..she's annoying AF...
Wait…. Teachers are overwhelmed, if not more so…. Watching and teaching those children for many hours over the teachers’ career. Ugh! TEACHERS NEED VOLUNTEERS AND ARE DESPERATELY NEEDING HELP- not just financial aid! 😡
Gen X generation did not have volunteers in the classroom past 4th grade and through elementary school we had 1 room mother in charge of holiday parties. There were no volunteers. So no, teachers do not need volunteers. And I do not want people around my children that are not employed by the school and have not had background checks.
My sons school had 600 students out of that 15 parents would volunteer the whole year !! That's a heavy load for the volunteers when other parents would have so much to complain but didn’t sign up to help!!! Parents are brats who expect the school to be a full service when funds are constantly been cut. If the schools had money they wouldn't be asking for volunteers!!!
Casey, u are super Amazing!!! 💯💯💯💛 Thank u sooooooooo much for sharing the importance of being realistic while juggling a gazillion roles as a mom, wife, sibling, daughter, friend, and supporter of the schools and community. You have given so much solace and encouragement to many of us today . 💯💛 Thank u, Good Morning America for airing this story. 💛💛💛
There are two parents and PTA, PTO mean “parent “ organizations. Get the dads involved too. Being a parent is stressful and if everyone works together it could make less stress for each other. All parents have a job be it in the home or outside of the home
I get where she is coming from and agree people need to lighten load so they are not overwhelmed but then the burden is on other people to step up and volunteer for your child's activities. Hard to balance.
1) You decided to have 4 kids. 2) No one's forcing you to volunteer. 3) Do what you gotta do. You don't need to go to social media about it. 4) First world problems.
I stand with her all the way. People are horrible these days. Your either not doing enough, doing too much, not doing it the right way, not doing someone else's way, it is beyond ridiculous! Grass is only greener on the other side because they make it that way. And not allowing others bs to come taint theirs.
It's not easy. Parents just choose how many children they'll have. Plan what your limit will be. 1 or 2 . And stop. It's allot of work just doing everyday stuff as a wife. Then take care of kids and husband. Plan how big you'll make your family.
"they work" Lol. Doesn't matter if the wife is the breadwinner. Men just can't do housework, homework or childcare. that is not their job. they mow the lawn, remember?
First of all, we need ALL parents, not just moms. Because you know this all falls on the moms, even those who work full time. We need dads and other guardians, too. Second, PUBLIC SCHOOLS NEED MORE FUNDING. Schools are forced to put on all sorts of fundraisers because they do not have funding for the resources they need and want like art, field trips, etc. If we had more funding, we wouldn't need to do all this extra fundraising. These kids are the future of our cities and country and we need to invest in them. I don't blame this mom. I was the parent who volunteered for everything, ran our pta-esque organization (that was actually it's own non-profit), ran multiple fundraisers, etc. because there was a need and I could fill it. I knew full well that there was a different situation for every family and not everyone could be present to actually RUN the fundraisers. But. Please just acknowledge those who are present and helping. Because I guarantee its less than 20% of the families/parents and they're going to get burned out which means no fundraiser which means no programs or resources for the kids. At our school we needed $150 PER CHILD to just provide the minimum. If every parent could give that, it would be awesome and no fundraisers!
I'm a Venmo mom. Proud of it! I buy food and treats and do what I can. I what I can just by driving my daughter to practices and getting snacks for the team.
This is more about parents over scheduling their kids. I did a lot of volunteering, but my kids only participated in a few activities. Select level sports at a young age are ruining everything! It looks like her young daughter is in one of those crazy cheerleading schools!
If she’s burnt out, so are her kids. I’m all for doing less & slowing down, but what she’s describing is not that. She’s still doing all of the activities, she’s just expecting other parents to pick up her slack. Does she think she’s the only one who’s busy? Perhaps she could cut out a few extra curricular activities and spend more quality time with her kids instead of doing 100 activities half-assed.
Teachers aren’t tired or overwhelmed?? A little help from parents isn’t really too much to ask. Let’s remember that teachers are leaving the profession at an alarming rate.
I'm 51 years old. When I was in school the only time my mom was there was for parent/ teacher conferences and whatever play or concert they forced us to participate in. There was no other parents in school unless we had a classroom party and it was 1 room mother. That's it. I do not want volunteers in my children's classrooms. I don't know them, I don't trust them and they have not been back ground checked.
I don't know what school your kid goes too, but we have to pass a 7 day background check to even get on our kids campus. If a parent isn't Involved in their kids education, they are spending time in the wrong place. If you are concerned of other parents being their, show up and participate yourself!
She may want to reconsider knowing what the schools teach these days. I was self employed and worked 2 forty hour shifts weekly for 45 years. I don’t volunteer now , maybe I’m selfish , maybe I’m missing out , I don’t know, since now this is my time. Sorry.
Good for her. I would be a venmo mom if I had the money to send. But I volunteer when and where I can. But trust me...if I could be a venmo mom...i would be one.
I'm really surprised this is controversial at all. No parent should be obligated to do all that stuff. It's called volunteering which is by choice, it shouldn't be coerced. Especially in her case, she has four freaking children! Are you serious? I'd feel bad just asking her to help. No one would ever expect this of a dad. Parents have enough to do for real. I completely agree with this mom. Giving them money from Venmo is gracious I don't think she should have to help or give them money at all. She has four kids I doubt she has that much money to spare.
I think there is a balance. Kids do not need all this over the top involvement from adults. But they do need some parents to get involved. And if your not willing to anything then do t cry when there are not field trip, chairs and books in the library, teachers being acknowledged, religious education, scouts and team dinners. I would say choose one or two things to volunteer and say that is my limit. Money is not enough but no you do t have to be the pta treasurer
Oh please as PTA president who is heavily involved this video (and your one sided reporting) is crap..."Venmo Mom" means basically I'll let the "suckers" do it and just send money....she's essentially putting the burden on others while her keeps kids still get the rewards. I would pay money to believe she "venmos" but also has lots of opinions.....LOL....
Why attack other women for being overwhelmed? Where is the discussion of where the men who fathered these children are when work needs to be done? Is it just easier to attack other women than it is to ask men to be involved in raising their own children?
@@Orchidaceous1keep your man hating comments to yourself. I raise my son and I do it all and work 55 hours a week. Plenty of amazing fathers out there and plenty of amazing mothers as well. It’s not a mom vs dad issue. It’s a selfishness issue, if your not sacrificing everything for your children than you had no business having them plain and simple.
I worked full time in the 70s and 80s. I still was a room mother and went to both kids ball games 4 nights a week. I liked meeting the kids. Had a hard time understanding how parents couldn't even be bothered to go to any events. They expected other parents to chauffer their kids around too.
Mom, you never know, when the tables will turn. If you truly had a heart for love and service, it's much bigger than mere volunteering. I spoke with two grandparents yesterday, they were in the role of volunteering, now as fate would have it, they are the care takers for those children. Again you never know, V mom ...
This is so gross, sexist and self-righteous. Stolen right from the religious scamming playbook. You would never ever in a million years tell a man that he is required to do labor for free or be subject to public shaming like this regarding the state of his heart. Ugh.
I don't think promoting moms who throw money at a 'problem' are the ones we should be hearing about. Maybe she shouldn't have had so many kids. And if she's just a wallet and taxi for her kids, what does she do with her daytime hours?
@@Orchidaceous1 don't ask me, ask the schools, really not sure why you asked that. I'm just saying if it's so bad people don't want to volunteer they should pay them wtf is your problem
@@Orchidaceous1 where do fathers get paid? I’m just wondering because where I live they don’t pay me anything.. 🙄 BTW I do everything for my son financially, emotionally, logistically and I don’t ask for praise or make videos about how hard it is. The reason is my son is everything and if I have to go without sleep or new clothes or have a vacation in order to make sure he has every opportunity in life then that’s what needs to be done. Anything less your not truly being a good parent and putting the child first.
no one was judging you til you made it public on social media. some of these parents need to put their social media accounts down and their phones and focus on their families. If you stop spending time making tik tok videos, you would be amazed what time you do have to invest in your kids' education. I wish my parents would have been a room mom or dad.
Not mentioned in this piece: the Dads who aren’t expected to work for free.
Tons of dad volunteers at our school.
@@peaceful525 Are they expected to? I’m not a parent so I have no way of knowing if what OP said is real or not.

Parents wouldn’t have to “volunteer” if schools had more resources. Outsourcing free services to parents isn’t a good excuse to underfund our schools.

I worked full time in the 70s and 80s. I still was a room mother and went to both kids ball games 4 nights a week. I liked meeting the kids. Had a hard time understanding how parents couldn't even be bothered to go to any events. They expected other parents to chauffer their kids around too.
Mom, you never know, when the tables will turn. If you truly had a heart for love and service, it's much bigger than mere volunteering. I spoke with two grandparents yesterday, they were in the role of volunteering, now as fate would have it, they are the care takers for those children. Again you never know, V mom ...
This is so gross, sexist and self-righteous. Stolen right from the religious scamming playbook. You would never ever in a million years tell a man that he is required to do labor for free or be subject to public shaming like this regarding the state of his heart. Ugh.

Look at the manspreader. Take up less space!
You do not have to do sports.
Childhood is once and sports can lead to full scholarships in college. Yes, sports are great considering the obesity with children.
parents trippin as per usual. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 #StopBreeding
I don't think promoting moms who throw money at a 'problem' are the ones we should be hearing about. Maybe she shouldn't have had so many kids. And if she's just a wallet and taxi for her kids, what does she do with her daytime hours?
Dude, she’s raising 4 kids!!! Her daytime hours are not even hers.
WORK!!!!!!! SHE GOES TO WORK!!!
Wow, no that is a statement.
What a shock she’s gorgeous. Let’s put her on tv.
❤👍🇮🇳💐
Burnt out from not having a job hajahajahahahaha
you sound jealous
So the burden is put on better moms? How unjust
If it's such a burden, they should be paying people then and not asking for volunteers
@@raeraebadfingers Why are mothers expected to do it for free, and fathers aren’t?
@@Orchidaceous1 don't ask me, ask the schools, really not sure why you asked that. I'm just saying if it's so bad people don't want to volunteer they should pay them wtf is your problem
They can say no too.
@@Orchidaceous1 where do fathers get paid? I’m just wondering because where I live they don’t pay me anything.. 🙄 BTW I do everything for my son financially, emotionally, logistically and I don’t ask for praise or make videos about how hard it is. The reason is my son is everything and if I have to go without sleep or new clothes or have a vacation in order to make sure he has every opportunity in life then that’s what needs to be done. Anything less your not truly being a good parent and putting the child first.
no one was judging you til you made it public on social media. some of these parents need to put their social media accounts down and their phones and focus on their families. If you stop spending time making tik tok videos, you would be amazed what time you do have to invest in your kids' education. I wish my parents would have been a room mom or dad.
