Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Private school parents: what % of your child's class have a WOHM? What % would you estimate have a net worth above $10M?

OP here: that's interesting. We are at a school (non-TT, non-UES) where I have been one of only 2 or 3 WOHMs for the past couple of years and find it harder and harder. I have to miss so many meetings and events during the day which DC resents. Finding playdates this summer is a real struggle as classmates have relocated to second homes outside NYC. We are wondering whether it is just our school.
[ Reply | More ]np: at a school my son used to attend, the pta meetings were in the middle of the morning so virtually no working parents could attend. it drove me crazy. i also got the feeling that the teachers were kind of upset that i worked--they always made a huge deal about how often my husband dropped off/picked up our son. i'm sure they didn't make a big deal about all of the moms who had more than 50% pick up/drop off duty. we are at another school that is a lot friendlier for parents who work outside the home!

This is happening here too except that our nanny does pick-up and drop-off. I feel like the teachers look at us negatively - got some off-color comments about the issue. Would you mind sharing which school you are currently attending or know of as more friendly to working parents? It is getting increasingly uncomfortable for us. The $ for tuition and donations to the annual fund (we are not on FA) has to come from somewhere!
