Fun(draisers) times!

My four-year-old son earlier this week brought home his school’s first fundraiser (sort of): a Scholastic Book Club flyer.

While it provided a great opportunity to buy inexpensive books without leaving my house, I also felt somewhat guilty.

I assumed there will be other club flyers this year, so I only bought three books. I also assumed his mother would buy books.

However, would I be a bad parent if I didn’t buy at least one item from my son’s school fundraisers, including $1 books from the Scholastic Book Club? I’m a newbie at the whole public school thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Write comments below to share with others, too.

Thanks!
