If you are so new to the troop I would be careful about narking on the “bossy mom” You have already made it clear that you are unable to help the troop. In most cases the “bossy mom” is actually the one who steps up and pulls things together and covers for all the other parents who can’t help or just plain don’t want to. If it wasn’t for bossy moms most of these programs would fall apart. Personally I think you should figure out a way to offer something on your end... like maybe altering uniforms or sewing on patches before you alienate your kid.

You sound like you could probably be the “bossy mom” figure in your hometown...as your posts sound very judgemental. I help when I can, I have gone with my son while he walks the neighborhood trying to sell camp cards, even though the walking hurts like crazy due to a botched back surgery. I have been in constant pain since the surgery in November and for the prior 2 1/2 years waiting for something to be done.

I sat for over 5 hours in front of a store this weekend while my son participated in selling camp cards. I have helped when able, I just dont have reliable transportation to get far or to go every time.

I’m not a seamstress, I can work a sewing machine...but I don’t believe I am good enough that I could alter clothing for the troop. So, are you done judging me and willing to offer suggestions that will help or can you find the door?
