[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am kind of fascinated by how divided the posts are, and I totally see both sides[b].  I am guessing the determining factor is people who love sports vs those who don't get it.  [/b]

Three tickets and on a Sunday night is a little thoughtless, and in an ideal world the FIL would have checked first, but grandparents can be somewhat oblivious to day-to-day logistics, and we don't know the backstory - are the father and kids big fans while the OP really prefers to stay home?

The bottom line is what kind of sports event is it - a one-time thing like playoff or bowl game?  Or just one of 100 regular season basketball or hockey games.  If it is the former, I get it and would let an 8 year miss one day of school.  If it is the latter, I would either get a sitter for the kids and make it an adult thing or blow it off[/quote]

I am a theater ballet arts person who couldn't care less about almost all sports (except figure skating and gymnastics) and I am emphatically on team grandpa.

OP is being petty in my opinion and looking to pick a fight over something that will be fun and memorable for her kids.[/quote]
