Bored Yuppie Moms Going Overboard

This time of year seems to bring out the bored yuppie moms in droves. Being their existence hinges upon creating busywork for themselves and everybody within reach of e-mail, they must go full on with soliciting you to 'volunteer' and 'donate' for yet another overboard end-of-school-year celebration, and try to guilt you into complying by using the 'children' as the bait to suck you in.

These bored bitches make a fucking big deal out of EVERYTHING. The scene at school goes something like this.....

Bored Yuppie Mom: (chirping excitedly) Oh, I'm coordinating a class gift for the teacher. Although I didn't ask your opinion, or ask even if you wanted to participate or not, I'm now trying to hijack $20 from you to cover your share.

Quite Rage: (annoyed) Well, I already had something else in mind...

Bored Yuppie Mom: (undaunted) AND... we are coordinating a year-end class party, and we need volunteers to purchase and serve pizza, soft drinks, and wrap the entire world up in a fucking little bow and present it to the kids on a silver platter! Isn't that the best idea ever?

Quite Rage: (pissed off) Look, this year-end-celebration bullshit has been going on since Easter break, and it repeats itself a million times before the year is over. You bored Yuppie moms make a big deal out of everything. Not only have you convinced 6th graders that they're "graduating" and to expect a full-blown ceremony complete with regalia, you've managed to do it again when they complete 8th grade. By the time they actually *do* graduate from high school, it's nothing special other than they expect a constant stream of parties and gifts. All the significance has been lost and has been replaced with the notion that every time these kids take a shit the world is to stop revolving and throw them a party. Here's the 'best idea ever'.... Go home, turn on Oprah, pop your Prozac, and leave me alone.

ROFLMAO! I read the other day about a nursery school that has a "graduation" at 4 when the tots go to "proper" school. Unbelievable.

As usual my dear ~ perfectly stated. May I only add that perhaps at the end you might have said: "leave me the *F* alone?" :-)

Love ya....

You rock!

Heaven forbid they actually do something, create something or just spend time with their over scheduled, soon to be overly entitled feeling kids.
