Getting Involved~~

I often wonder why people have children. Why do they have children if they are not going to be involved with their children's lives? Why do they have children if their own needs are always put before their children's needs? What could possibly be more important then your children??!

Last night, there was a special viewing of a movie that is going to be shown at my son's CCD class on Wed. The video contained information about inappropriate touching, bullying, safe adults, etc. It was a 12 minute video~~12 MINUTES...Moose and I were there along with 4 other parents! FOUR~!!! SEVEN all together including the moderator. The moderator sent out 70 letters to the new CCD parents...70!!! And only 5 children's parents went. Very, very sad! The moderator even mentioned how heart breaking it was that the turnout was so little. She also mentioned how she is going to hear backlash from some of the parents who didn't bother to show up to view this video when their precious children come home and start asking questions. Hmmm, maybe these parents should have spent the 30 mintues at the viewing where all their questions would have been answered.

I really feel badly for teachers/principals/leaders of different events for our children. If parents aren't going to be involved in their child(ren)'s lives, who will be!>>??!!

Believe me, Moose & I would have rather been on the couch in our jammies then in that library lastnight but we did it for our son! We did it because we care about what other people will be teaching our son!

Okay, that is my sermon for the week...off my soapbox! :)
