[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s interesting that OP hasn’t given us her DS’s age.

Why wasn’t the lesson on committment to the team as important to teach last weekf, but this week — on MIL’s birthday — it’s become paramount?

How would you resolve this if it was your mother’s birthday and she was the one that wanted to celebrate with your family on “the day,” OP?  [/quote]

Yes OP, how old is your son?  I'm guessing if he's only practicing a sport once a week he's either (1) young or (2) not very advanced.  I'm not saying that to be mean, it's just a fact that once a week practices are rare once you get older and more advanced.  I respect the commitments we've made during the week such as sports and I likely wouldn't entertain missing it for something like this, but honestly it's the 7 pm birthday at a place an hour away during the week that would have me saying no (again, assuming your kid is young).  If he's 12 and just started a sport then maybe I'd let it go, although I would care how he felt about it.[/quote]
