Casey Neal's TikTok about not volunteering for her kids' PTA has gone viral.
A Tennessee mom is speaking out after she acknowledged on social media that she doesn't want to volunteer her time for her kids' class parties or extracurricular activities.Casey Neal said in part, "I don't want to be on PTO, PTA, room mom, team mom. I don't want to do any of that," referring to parent groups common in elementary schools across the country.
Casey Neal opened up in a TikTok video about being a “Venmo mom” and not wanting to be involved in her kids’ classes or extracurricular activities.The 31-year-old went on to add that she'll offer financial assistance for student group activities and have her kids participate if they want to, describing herself in the video as a "Proud Venmo mom," referring to a popular payment app.
for years, she has felt guilt and pressure from other parents and sometimes, from her children's teachers and school staffers to sign up and lead activities such as a class party or join a parent-teacher group. "I define a 'Venmo mom' as so many things … the mom that just drops off snacks, the mom that works three jobs and just wants to be there but can't be there so she just spends money, a mom that just writes a check, teachers who are also moms that are like, 'We don't want to attend all that. We just send our money,'" Neal explained.
