#3 Funny Misconceptions about Mothers and Back-to-School

            Remember I am not writing these, or making them up. A Mom in NYC blogged these, but even she said she didn't write them either. So this is a giving-credit-where-it-is-due-chain. Want to join?
#3 is not my favorite because being from Oklahoma, my kids never had "a project on wigwams made by some Indian tribe" that we did not know (also being Native American, I know most of the major tribes). Also, I personally always liked Parent-Teacher conferences.

Misconception Number 3: Moms like back to school night. Why must we do this every year? I got it already. You’re the teacher…I’m the parent. My kid is either going to be smart or dumb. If he gets a certain number or colored dot on his discipline chart, he can’t get a prize from the prize box, pretty simple stuff.

Listen, I’m pretty old school. If he doesn’t listen to you…you can throw something at him. I don’t care. But I got a lot of work to do at home and I’m paying a babysitter right now. Plus, I’m pretty sure you are going to assign some project on wigwams made by some Indian tribe I’ve never heard of, so I need to get home and start my research.

So, I got it. We’re all here for the betterment of the kids. Blah Blah Blah. Can I leave now?
