[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't love dinner at 7 on a weeknight, with an hour drive back home - that would screw w/ bedtime on a school night. I'd say that you can't make it. Husband can go alone, dinner can be later (and I'd also - perhaps pettily - make it clear that was a significant bending of the rules re bedtime), or we can schedule something for the weekend. I can imagine skipping another practice, and I can also imagine saying he'd already missed one and needs to honor his commitment. I'd support you on either side of that. It may be that you need to stop giving so much time and energy to these control battles overall. Make your decision, based on what you and your husband agree is best for your family in any given scenario, and then live with the consequences. If you strip your emotions out of it then there is less for her to feed on and less for you to stew over. Good luck.[/quote]
