The Do's |
| You're always complaining. What do you want?
|
What can we do to make you feel comfortable?
|
| That can't work. |
Let's give it a try. |
| That could work, but... |
That's good. Lets examine that idea further. |
| What's wrong with the way I'm doing it? |
I'm glad you brought your concerns to my attention. |
| Here we go again! |
If we work together I think we can resolve this. |
| The old way works. I don't want to make more work for myself. |
That is an exciting idea. We've never done it that way. You would be great at that! |
| You never are on time! I don't think you have any regard for me. I have a life too! |
Your daughter is often picked up late. I really need your support in this. Can I put you in touch with the other moms so you can carpool? |
| Here are the permission slips. Last time I had to chase people down for them. Please get them to me on time! |
Here are the permission slips. I know I can count on you to return them on time. |
| I'm totally overwhelmed. I can't deal with one more thing right now! |
This is a bad time but that sounds interesting. Can you e-mail me and I'll get back to you about it? Thanks! |
| I don't know why I try. No one ever participates. |
I know we can pull this project off and all have a great time doing it. |
| Our parents don't care about the troop. They never help. I'm just a babysitting service to them. Getting paperwork out of them is like pulling teeth. You don't know our parents. They're the worst. |
We have a great group of parents.
Our parents are so supportive. I always have helpers when I need them.
I have a wonderful group of parents. They have a lot to offer the troop.
