[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should be glad you don't have to pay for one more guest. And, I remember when my dd who ended up being a DI Ivy athlete had sports stuff every weekend. Coaches don't like for kids to miss even if they don't play.

I understand your bummed, but in a big family there are always going to be conflicts.[/quote]

Coaches can get away with that because there are parents out there like you who think what a coach thinks is more important than your sister.  [/quote]

I am sure this is a sports vs. non-sports obligation thing. If it were AP exams, or SATs or an orchestra recital at Carnegie Hall you would change your tune.[/quote]

AP exams aren't on Saturdays, SAT's can be rescheduled and yes, my child would miss a recital for a wedding.  Wedding trumps all of your "scenarios."   The fact that you are using all of these things as analogies to a basic early season high school tournament just further proves my point, the level that parents place sports is ridiculous.  [/quote]
