MomsTalk: Fund-raiser Overload - Are You Spent?

Q: Fund-raiser Overload: Welcome to the team - now here's your order form. Get out there and sell, sell, sell. Is it too much?

Between chocolate candies and gift wrap and discount cards, do you get overwhelmed with the amount of things you have to sell as a part of a team? You sell gift wrap around the holidays and then pizzas in the spring, and it happens every time a new sport begins or the band takes a trip.

Do you get annoyed with it all? Are you tired of writing checks? Is Grandma screening your calls, avoiding the constant requests? Or do you see it as a necessary part of being on a team?

Along these lines, do you take the cookie sheet to the office to sell? Or do you insist that your child knocks on each and every door?
