[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your DS?

In general, in this area I think we cater too much to our kids’ activity schedule and 5 years from now it’s not going to make a difference if he made this practice or not, and grandma could have passed on or have dementia.  I’m also guilty of putting our kids’ schedule before everything else and I try to check myself because it’s ridiculous.[/quote]

I’m so sick of old people playing the “I could be DEAD soon card.” Guess what? We could all die in a car accident tomorrow - maybe on the way to the faraway restaurant...  Realistically, a healthy 60-something will be around for another 2 decades - at least. Should the grandchildren’s entire childhood revolve around Grandma’s whims??

And even if you are right and grandma gets dementia in 5 years - the family will be able to look back fondly at the time they celebrated grandma’s birthday. Nobody will care (or remember!) that it was 48 hours before or after the actual date. [/quote]

Same could be said about a sports practice.

"Hey Aiden, remember that great soccer practice back in Feb. of 2019??  Yeah, it was awesome."[/quote]
