O/T Just a wtf DH moment

So I'll preface this by saying that our kids go to a school that doesn't have a whole lot of parent involvement. It seems especially bad in my SS and DD's grade level (1st). I'm the room mother in both of their classes and have a hard time getting parents to help with anything. I'm also the room mother for my younger daughter's old pre-k class despite the fact that I withdrew her out of it in November! Maybe I'm a sucker but I know how much those younger grades really need parents to help out during special events and I knew none of the other pre-k parents would be able to replace me.

With that being said, my husband sees me busting my butt doing all this volunteer work for the school, he's seen me all week getting things ready for the kids Valentines parties at school, I've told him everything I'm setting up in each class and when the parties are, etc. I guess it just goes in one ear and out the other bc earlier I was rolling out the cookies I told him I was going to make for SS's class and he comes strolling into the kitchen and says "gee it's a little late to be baking from scratch honey, you must have a sweet tooth." I swear I wanted to swing the rolling pin at him, haha.

I use to do reading with my step kids classes but now stoped because it was becoming a issue for their BM. She felt that if i was doing school support she wasn't able to, so i stoped to let her do it but now 6mnths later she hasn't done any school support. Kids ask me all the time when I'm coming back to help and have nothing i can say to them about it. She dosnt want me to do support at their school, once my son turns 5 ill do support in his class and she will have nothing to say about it.

My SS and DD are in the same grade at the same school. I started off delicately not trying to step on BM's toes but halfway through kindergarten when it became clear that she wasn't going to be very involved I said screw it and started doing what I wanted.

This just pisses me off. Why do you give a shit what BM thinks regarding YOUR choice to volunteer? She can STFU and FO IMHO.

Do what you want when you want regarding your volunteer efforts and let BM wallow in her lying bullshit.
