[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I played three sports in high school.  My mother came to almost every game and was generally incredibly supportive.

I don't remember any senior nights and if she was there or not.  I'd assume yes, but maybe not.  In general she was there a lot, but not always.

I do remember her taking extreme loving care of both my grandmothers.  I hope I can do as good a job when my time comes to step up.

I agree that this doctor's appointment needs to come first.

Like you, I am a working mom with teenage children.  I don't have ailing parents as my parents are in good health in their late 70's, but I sometimes have to miss special kid events because of work travel.  Same for my husband.  It's just unavoidable sometimes, and I try not to get worked up about it.  I try not to get bitter about my job.

I'm sure that, if your mom knew what you were missing, she would feel terrible and not want you to miss it.

I'd just do it, and not have too much of a pity party for yourself, as you truly are setting a good example for your children (so long as you're not whining to them about it).[/quote]
