[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t even understand why YOU’RE going. It’s fall of freshman year. If they make the sport, don’t you want to be at the game that will probably be that weekend? If they go to homecoming, don’t you want to see them off and take pictures? If they’re making new friends and get invited to something, don’t you want them available to say yes? [/quote]

WOW! LIKE SERIOUSLY?!?
Are your brain cells okay? Or do you not understand the significance of grandparents? To some of us, our parents/grandparents/family members mean everything. What is homecoming/dance without family? This kid will get an opportunity to go to homecoming and dances again but what if this happens to be the last time he/she sees the grandparents. Life is not guaranteed! There are 4 years in high school.

I would say to this parent......Ask your child? Let he/she decide. Whatever the decision, be okay with it. But don't feel guilty for going with the rest of the family to see your parents. You have 3 more years of seeing her off to dances/homecoming not to mention there is prom. Your kiddo will be okay. [/quote]
