[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless it's the freaking Super Bowl, I would draw the line at it being on a school night. Talk directly to your FIL and explain that young children can't go out that late, especially when they need to get up early for school the next day. Your DH can make an adult decision about himself but the kid stays home. Alternatively, let him go but have him skip school the next day (although it's a ridiculous reason to skip school, unless it's the freaking Super Bowl).[/quote]
+1 for sure OP.  I think the posters with the 'No big deal, oh it'll be fun' attitude are in the "some people just don't get it" category.  My objection about the hour would not change the recommendation if the game was on the weekend. Too big a deviation in the 8 year olds schedule.  But the fact that it is a school night would add a "get real" to thoughts of my reply whether I said it or not.  Just sweety and firmly say that fil can get him an 8 year old christmas gift instead, not an adult Christmas gift.  If he says going to a game is one, explain 'Not when it is a late night game hours away it isnt".  
Good luck.[/quote]
