Op here. It’s not an orchestra but same difference. [b]I very much want her to stay home, but she very much wants to go. [/b]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 [b]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.[/b][/quote]

You are the parent. You make the choice. Sometimes that means making a choice that is at odds with the choices of other adults in her life. That's parenting. She can be mad. That's being the kid.

If you accept being "set up to make bad decisions" by another adult, you're not really adulting. [/quote]
