[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send DH (and any other kids) to game-you and son go late to party. I agree with you-you honored DH family but then they canceled and now you ought to honor the commitment owed to team.  I would ask coach if it would truly be an issue and if not then sure - go to party.[/quote]

This![/quote]

I admit that I don't know much about middle school sports.  But is there really a chance in hell that any coach tells a parent that it would be "an issue" for a player to miss a game to attend a grandparent's 75th birthday celebration?[/quote]

None of this is about the coach's response; he's great and my kid missing one game won't make a problem for my son.   We have had coaches who have been jerks about family events (middle son's travel baseball coach gave him a ton of crap and talked about him to the rest of the team because he went to my oldest son's high school graduation and family celebration afterward) and that doesn't have anything to do with what decision we'd make about a family event.  I also have no illusions that my son's going to the NBA, that sports trump all, or that we're worried about his playing time or any of that crap.  For me, it's about saying we'd be somewhere and now saying we're not.  Once someone cancels plans, how long should a person hold their calendar open for the cancelling party to change their minds?[/quote]
