As a European, I will never understand how Americans put children's sports over an adult's major professional accomplishment. Actually, scratch that. It's not just Europeans. It's everyone in the world, probably. I have East Asians in my family, and they would prioritize the work milestone. I have colleagues from the Indian subcontinent. They would prioritize the work milestone too.

I would be extremely hurt and offended if my husband reacted that way. It would actually be a form of deep betrayal. But then my husband is also European and would never make that mistake.

We have markedly different values, don't we? Fascinating.[/quote]

How many parents of players on the team would feel that their coach doesn’t prioritize his commitment to the team if he skips the playoff game to go out to dinner? The timing is unfortunate but the dinner can be rescheduled and the work accomplishment celebrated. Celebrating your spouse’s work project isn’t isolated to one night only. [/quote]
