[quote=Anonymous]You said yourself you don't usually go to sports events. You're making this all about you. It's not. It's about a grandparent trying to spend time with grandkids. Close friends of ours have a serious family tradition of attending a certain college team's games, and it all started with grandpa's love of the team and the rest of the family's love for grandpa. It is a lot of fun for them. Please don't put yourself on the wrong side of this. Pick a better battle - this isn't worth it!

Eight years old = no big deal to miss school. In fact, best time is now before you hit middle school or high school. Elementary school is not going to be failed by a missed day recovering from a super fun special gift from grandpa.

Take it up with your husband regarding future games. The ship has sailed on this one and you'll really come off as a jerk if you refuse to let the kid(s) go. If you're worried husband will fall asleep driving, make the hotel non-optional.

I'd even let the five year old go![/quote]
