I'm on year 6 and yea, same thing. Very cliquey. If you work forget it. Most of the meetings etc are during the day. And no one makes any accomodiation for the working parents (it would cut into their "family time").
The yearbook took me at least 80-100 hours to complete, all by myself. Asked for help from everyone and got nada. All I got was a "thank you" from the PTA Pres when she ran into me the last day of school. Not that I was in it for the glory or anything but all the other "projects" got public thank you's in the infrequent newsletter.
And being a single, working parent, um yea might as well wear a scarlett letter. When the munchkin was in 1st grade one of the other girls told her she couldn't come play with her because her mom didn't let her go to peoples houses who are divorced. Nice no?
