one of the other moms chaperoning the boys water polo bot camp trip. She only came to over-mother her baby boy who is very special (and a senior this year)....

On three occasions now she's dumped her chaperoning duties to wander off and do something for her baby -like get him a special ice pack sling because his shoulder is hurt. That took all morning and then some, leaving her carful of kids rideless and no-one to do her share of the lunch shift. Because whilke they were hunting down this magic item, they found a really cool diner so just stopped for lunch there....... it goes on. She swears she doesn't sleep a wink at night because of migraine, but so far has slept in every morning and avoided breakfast duties, then takes a nap during other duty times because she's so tired because she didn't sleep. IF she doesn't sleep at night, it's because she sleeps ALLFUCKING DAY! useless tub of lard. Oh and for someone who doesn't sleep at night she's doing a darn good impression of someone who does right now. (10:20pm)

Is this unusual? I ask because my only experience is from long ago when I was one of the flock being chaperoned. That was a different time and culture, but out of the chaperones there always seemed to be certain parents that were fuck ups and did little useful, and some, well usually one, who seemed to be everywhere, doing all the heavy lifting, and keeping us organized. they rest kind of drifted along mostly following cues from the one.

I'm sure she peaks your blood pressure since you're shooting for efficiency and organization, for you that has to be a given with your schedule and brood.

But also because you want to do the best for the kids, I'm betting it would kill you to make a mistake that cost some kid an opportunity or a race.

Is anyone in charge of these expeditions or is this all ad hoc?
