[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You skip them. [/quote] This. We are a two-teacher family. We never make any of our own children’s events. If Grandma isn’t available, our kids just don’t go (meet and greets, etc). [/quote] Two-teacher family here too. One of us will take time off for something like a parent-teacher conference, just as we would for something like a scheduled dentist or another doctor appointment. Our Back to School Nights are in the evening. Parents don't come to our class parties. Someone earlier mentioned those.[/quote] Our parent/teacher conferences and BTS nights are almost always on the same nights as our children’s school. We can’t take leave on those days. As for class parties, field trips, and other school-day obligations, I can’t afford to take a day when I only get 10 total. I need to save those for illnesses! We just can’t go. Our kids are fine. They understand why. [/quote]
