[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, when I had a 3/1 year old at home, bedtime was sacred and I felt scared to deviate...now that I’m older and my kids are older, I realize how rigid I was and missed out on a lot. I would put my two kids in their pajamas and otherwise get everything ready for bedtime so I could get home and throw them into bed. That boy will be so happy you’re there!![/quote]

OP here. This wasn't really the issue, we're pretty lax actually on bedtime when the cause is good. And this wasn't really going to mess up bedtime much more dinner. The issue was more I have been really really sick. Like in the ER for fluids barely able to walk up the stairs sick from pregnancy. I have gotten substantially better this week but was dreading the prospect of needing to throw up at an unfamiliar elementary school while alone with my two kids. But I've been a lot better this week so I knew it was a bit of a cop out.

But it was fine and way easier than I thought and definitely worth it. It turned out to be lovely and only a half hour. Both the 3 and 1 yo loved watching the kids perform and clapping and the 3 yo loved seeing her friend. I put them in jammies and had snacks, milk and the double stroller and when the kid pointed us out to his friend from the stage and enthusiastically waved I felt silly for even thinking about skipping

Thank you dcum for knocking some sense into me![/quote]
