I'm a little confused by some of the replies here. Particularly how if you have more than one child there's just way too much to do. I fully appreciate busy. I have a full time job that is an 90 minute (each way) commute away, 3 kids, a dog and a husband who works shifts. It's certainly challenging, but if you actually volunteer for something, why would you then take the tacky shortcut? If you don't have time, or it's something you don't like to do then don't sign up. I don't judge people for whether they like to cook or whatever and I have been both a working and stay-at-home mother, so I know that there are challenges with either, but I dislike laziness. By the way - Hi Melody :)
