Good luck with that.  My kid (and his friends) was talking about the trip nonstop for the weeks before and after the trip.  He would have been heartbroken if he weren't allowed to go.  If you were actually faced with the decision, I bet you would relent.[/quote]

At 3?  I think you're exaggerating.  [/quote]

My kid was 5, others in his class were 4.  But his three year old younger sister was disappointed she didn't get to go, so even at that age I don't think you would be out of the woods completely.[/quote]

Right.  HUGE difference between a class of 5 year olds on the metro, and their enjoyment of a field trip, and 2-3 year olds.  [/quote]

Ok, but this thread concerns preschool trips and preschools generally have kids between 3-5.  Why you assumed I was talking about a three year old when neither my post (nor the one I responded to) mentioned age at all is unclear.[/quote]

OP is talking about 3 year olds. It's fair to assume that others are talking about 3 year olds. You can chime in about your 5 year old kid, but it's not as relevant because, as PP pointed out, there's a huge difference between 3 and 5.[/quote]

This is a dumb debate even by DCUM standards, but it is Friday so I will play along.  OP may be dealing with 3 year olds, but the post concerns preschool age and plenty of other people posted about experiences with older preschoolers.  And my post indicated that friends of my 5 year old, who are 4, were equally into the trip and would be equally upset at being forced to miss it by her paranoid mom.  Finally, I said even my 3 year old was aware of the trip and felt like she was missing out, and it wasn't even her class going.  Imagine how upset of it were her class and friends going and her mom said no.

So, no I don't agree with you, either that my post was irrelevant or that you could cavalierly withhold a 3 year old from a trip without a severely disappointing said 3 year old.[/quote]
Imagine the disappointment when she is told she can't have her own cell phone at age 7 like all her friends. Sooooo sad. It's called parenting.[/quote]
