your daughter is very young...i promise that she probably won't even remember this  so on one hand, I think you should go to the meetup...on another hand, as a mother, i know how torn you are. I will say, I was a little upset that her dad couldn't be there...i felt like he was putting his wife before his daughter. but everyone reminded me that she will have many many more competitions and he will be at the others..or else I can have him beheaded LOL
really...she is so young. 3 years old is very very young, she will have many other recitals...and she probably will be so enthralled by the atmosphere and she knows her daddy will be there...and her big sister. I think it will be perfectly fine if you dont go. and the 2 of you can watch the video together too
i'm just as torn as you are. i'm no help...sorry  |
It would be gone and her big sister gone???
I know she is so young and probably won't remember, but I sure would. I can't go out after the recital because its friday night., thurs night i guess is rehersel, and wed. is pictures, etc. We were leaving Thurs morning to drive to Kansas. I already made plans with Missy (which she knows about this) I know she was going even before I was, but still that would be letting her down too. Either way I go, I'm gonna be letting someone down.
I'm one of those people who are hard ever away from there kids. Lexi acutally goes to work with me each and everyday. I'm with her 24 / 7 and she is such a mommy's girl. I work for a heating and cooling company and she's been here since 1 month old.
I want to go to the meetup so bad, but I don't think I'd ever forgive myself.
Gosh.....i just don't know???????????
