Has anyone else fell into the trap of taking there kids to something and ending up volunteering there. I've done it twice now this year alone. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the stuff I'm volunteering for but why do I keep on falling into the trap.

I'm guessing as a dad you want the best for your children and if that means you helping out to get it, then it's what you do as a good dad, I can't say I've ever done this for my children as yet, my eldest who is 21 this year I was always working, but I can see it happening with my younger two 5&3 as I now only work part time I have been thinking about volunteering my time for a charity that I'm involved with for my daughter, it's a down syndrome charity we attend lots of their events which are all funded by them and I really want to be able to give something back. I'm a driving instructor and I also work with young driver training so I'm thinking about seeing if young driver training would allow families that have older children with down syndrome to attend at a discounted rate if I worked for free so the older children with down syndrome can have an opportunity to drive in a safe environment, the chances are most of none of them will ever get the chance to drive normally so think it would be an awesome experience for them |
