[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't plan things midweek on a practice night. So the kid would not go to the dinner with out of town guests, they wouldn't want to do that anyway. Visiting Grandma would happen at a more convenient time. Siblings concert would be up in the air. I have 3 kids and they are all busy with their own things and they don't all go to each others events all the time.[/quote]

OP here,

Between my two kids, someone has a practice or a game or other event 7 days a week.  Someone has to miss if they're going to see Grandma, since she's an 8 hour drive away and too elderly and fragile to come to us.  [/quote]

Are you the same poster on the other thread asking if it’s okay to skip games to have lunch with grandma?

Our grandparents are that far away or farther.  No, we don’t have our kids miss sports for visits.  We go in the summer or at other times when it doesn’t conflict.  And no to your other question, they don’t miss to attend a siblings performance.  You carpool on those nights.  If my kids join a team, generally they only miss if they are ill or some emergency specialist appointment or a real emergency.   This is why my kids never joined a sport that has anything organized June and and July.  We need that time for travel flexibility.  [/quote]
