It's so true, and it feels as if there is a small group of parents who end up doing a large portion of the work (not just PTA, but like you said scouts, church teaching, coaching), and you would LOVE to say no, but then who would do it? And I've struggled this fall with feeling unappreciated, especially with Girl Scouts. I put SO many countless hours into that troop, and it can feel as if no one appreciates (or really knows) that time. But then I have to take a step back and remind myself why I am doing this - for the good of the kids, my own and others, and for the community, and society at large. It IS making a difference.
