Six months ago my wife got the ax from the newly installed bishop. She had been the primary president for 6 years. It was an unheard of stretch for her ward.
Well, the thing those kids do in singing in sacrament meeting is coming up and my wife is conflicted on whether she wants to go see it or skip sacrament meeting that Sunday. I told her she can't avoid that train wreck if I knew her very well. It will drive her crazy to not witness this upcoming mess up.
Here is the background. The new primary president called women to her presidency who have no real love for children. They are all under 40 and have large broods themselves. In working with these women not one of them ever made a good primary teacher according to my wife. They couldn't care less to be in primary when they were. Now all three are running the show.
Here is how this upcoming event has been going down. The just started practicing for it yesterday. It is at the end of the month. The reason they just started was because General Conference "threw us off." They want to have the children sing "I Am a Child of God" in French. And they got their program directly from Pintrest or some LDS site.
The information I'm getting is that these women are more interested in the bulletin board in their primary room than primary. My wife said it looks like a crafter's dream and that most of the children don't really understand what is up there. My wife tried to explain it to me and I don't understand what it was supposed to be about.
Apparently, chaos ensues every Sunday. They let the kids out 15-20 minutes early. The makeup sharing times and still don't have a music person but don't actually have singing times. When one of them stands up at the front the other two just chat the whole time.
I'm not surprised. The kicker is two of the three were in a former primary presidency with my wife so they know how it is suppose to work but they both claimed problems to get them released. Now they are running the show with the third woman who point blank told my wife (before she was called to be a counselor with this new presidency) that if my wife called her to teach primary she would be very angry at my wife.
And the crazy doesn't stop there. The new bishop was told the history and that one (would be angry) comment of these women to the bishop when he told my wife that he was calling these women to replace her presidency.
It has been amusing for me to hear how many people have approached my wife to tell her how they appreciated her efforts when she was president. Funny. It is such a Mormon foible to hear about this and to coin it the PPP (Pintrest Primary Presidency) because that is exactly what it is. Three married with children women with no interest is running an auxiliary for children but themselves running to The Internet to indulge their craft hobbies and just let The Internet run their primary. They probably blog about it.
That is so typically Mormon - inept sheep running around a fold of playing at doing things - from their phones.
