Working mums too busy for PTA meetings


Eldorado

Recommended Posts

"Working mothers are now too busy to join Parent Teacher Associations, a leading headmistress has said, as people are now less “community minded” than they used to be.

"Over the past two decades, there has been a steady decline in attendance of PTA meetings and this is partly down to more women having high-flying careers, according to Sue Hincks who head of Bolton School Girls’ Division.

She said that while we should celebrate the fact that women are now more likely to be the breadwinners of the family than in previous generations, it also means that they have far less time to volunteer."

Today women have to work to contribute to the finances of the family. The days of the stay at home mom are pretty much over. It's not necessarily that they have high-flying careers or are the breadwinners. They have to work because the cost of living is so much higher than it was even 20 years ago.
