Is going to be the death of me.

So many rules. So many disagreements between involved parties. So many hard feelings.

"My kid did all the work, why should he have to split money with kids that didn't do any work."

And so forth. I just try to keep my head down and do what we can, but knowing that we are going to probably fall short as we follow the rules that the Bishop has us adhere to.

It would be nice of course to live in a ward where all the parents could just pay for this stuff and we didn't need fundraisers. On the other hand, it's good to be working with kids and families of more limited means for whom the fundraiser helps significantly.
