I *tried* to be a PTO member.
I joined Zach's first year of school because I thought that was just what you did, but since I was a full-time college student and very pregnant with Bella I wasn't active in it. Zach's next year I joined and really wanted to be active so I could meet other parents since I figured I would go nuts with being a stay-at-home mom. (I even signed up to be his class's room mom.) Unfortunately for me the three ladies mainly in charge HATED me. The main lady's youngest son was also in Zach's class and was constantly making snide remarks about me being so young (22 at the time) and how she couldn't believe the teacher picked me for room mom. Her two best friends led the PTO with her, and they were a load of witches.
I gave it a year to try to win them over with no luck. I ended up saying eff-it and haven't joined again since. (Same lady is still in charge)
