We just started school, and I already have a parent threatening to make a meeting with me and the principal over the books I chose for the first lesson of the year. I've always been a fan of parents getting more involved with school, I believe in the stool theory. That being said, this is getting a bit out of hand. I almost wanted to say "Why don't you just take my place!"

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?
