[quote=Anonymous]We do a mix of everything.

If it’s a big event, our family supports each other. My daughter had a dance performance this past weekend. Long story - but I had purchased tickets for my two boys to see it with my husband, my parents, and my grandmother. Somehow each year one kid gets has been invited to a bday party after I buy the tickets but it always gets sold out and I can’t switch to another show at that late date.  I have to tell the kid they have to miss the bday party for the show and that it’s important to support family at these big things.

One year my daughter had to miss a bday party because an older brother’s Odyssey of the Mind team made the State competition.  My DH had to judge, we wanted to support the competing son, and I couldn’t do it all and get my daughter to the party.

They often go to each other’s baseball games unless they have their own plans. They play with other siblings at the baseball field.  But if one of them has been invited to a party etc. we will split up.

My daughter is only 4 so if it’s something regular like a baseball game, either DH or me will stay home with her if it’s late at night etc. so she doesn’t have to stay out past bedtime.

I can’t tell what category Science Olympiad falls in. We’ve never done that activity. [/quote]
