[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, she'll eventually discuss it in therapy as part of her reflection on having a hard-charging mom who couldn't tolerate the idea that she might lose her seat in an important musical outfit.

Good luck. [/quote]
Most likely. "My mom cared more about my orchestra than my health"[/quote]

Op here. It’s not an orchestra but same difference. I very much want her to stay home, but she very much wants to go. She isn’t an elementary school kid who I can just carry upstairs and tuck into bed, and I understand her perspective because she doesn’t want to miss future opportunities that are important to her. Music is not my thing and I wish we could just blow this off and move on. I think the director’s rules create bad incentives and set kids and families up to make bad decisions.[/quote]

Have you tried calling the director? "Mandatory" probably doesn't mean "when you're too ill to sit up straight and need an ice pack in your bra." It might be the kid's anxiety that she'll get cut.[/quote]

Not being there means they will not be able to audition for the spring program. Director: “it’s in the handbook, we can’t make exceptions for one person or we would have to make an exception for everyone.”

I think that’s ultimately more responsible than other activities she’s been involved in that had multiple sets of rules depending on if you were a favorite, but still- this is no fun. One hour until she needs to make a final choice.[/quote]
