Eowyn I don't think your comment is offensive, just realistic. I'm done trying to plan the activities when it's convenient for everyone, because realistically it's NEVER convenient for everyone. We plan what we plan and hope for the best. The priesthood should support the RS and the other way around. I applaud wards where the men were able to step up and sacrificed their time and sanity to watch a gaggle of kids. My reality in my twig of a branch is that we're out in the middle of no where, the congregation is spread out for miles and we only have 8 active priesthood members. Not whining just stating the facts. I know we are supposed to have these activities to bring the sisters closer together and develop relationships. I will see what I can do about getting some men to "volunteer" to watch the kids.
