Excuse me but I don't need to be an over-bearing parent at every single event. It's okay to actually make time for yourself so that you can be an effective parent. Who can I serve in my family if I am constantly stretched thin and over worked---no one. You do you, and I'll do me. But self-care is just as important as family care. My daughter and I are doing just fine. [/quote]

PP my kid's school Open House is 1.5hrs long in the morning and is the only time all year I can observe the classroom unless I volunteer which I usually can't because I work.    You are off for the entire day but stopping in for an hour is being an over-bearing parent?  :roll:  I think you are confused as to what is over-bearing and what is selfish.  And no, your daughter is not fine.  Inside she knows how you feel when other parents come in that day and she knows you are off for the day, but sitting in an overpriced spa spending hundreds on yourself.  Stop rationalizing with the self-care comment as you know it is just as easy to send the kids off the school, have a nice workout/Starbucks, go in for an hour to observe, and then go off for a mani/pedi or facial, even catch up with a friend for lunch.   But it isn't about self-care.  It is about not really giving a crap what your kid does in school.  [/quote]

Alternatively, the top PP is doing what's right for the top PP and the top PP's child, and you are doing what's right for you and your child. The top PP is not neglectful, and you are not overbearing. It's fine if you go. It's fine if you don't.[/quote]
