I have 4 kids – 3 at home and my oldest is going into 3rd grade this year. I just can’t seem to find the time to volunteer at school and I feel SO guilty! Am I being a bad mom to my 3rd grader?

Luvmy4kids: Arlene is right - Don’t sweat it. Your time will come! Getting involved is great, both for your kids and your school, but there’s a right time and right way for everyone. For you, you have an important job with kiddies at home right now! This isn’t the best time to take on a big volunteer role. Instead of feeling guilty, go to the PTO events, like the ice cream socials and book fairs and have fun! When the time is right, get involved. Until then, don’t stress. ~ Lisa
