Is it mean that I teach my DC to deal with disappointments?

So, if your K cries because another kid won a prize and your kid didn't, would you run out and buy your DC a prize?  Wow. That's teaching your DC ...oh what's it called... oh I know... the world revolves and caters to what you want.   [/quote]
But this is different.  It's more like the time I realized that the function was formal, but I was wearing jeans and felt uncomfortable all day.  I'm grown, so I didn't cry, but I sure would have been pissed if I was in that situation because someone else had messed up.[/quote]

NP. Good analogy. I would like to think that in that scenario if I had called DH at home and been able to give sufficiently specific info on what I wanted he could have made a quick trip to bring me the appropriate outfit and jewelry. I've done something similar for him on many occasions.

If a family member or close friend of mine has an oops moment and forgets something that results in them being/feeling horribly out of place in a situation or otherwise in a bind and I reasonably can make an attempt to fix it without too much inconvenience, I'm likely to do so. This would obviously not apply if it were a child with a pattern of irresponsibility at an age where the responsibility was reasonable to expect, but this was a one time instance of a K kid and his parents all forgetting about a special occasion at school.

I don't think OP's DH was completely out of line because I think there's merit to both taking the forgotten PJs and trying to teach the kid that this was a minor thing not worth causing a fuss or a special trip. But if I were OP's DH with only the details provided in the OP I probably would have brought the PJs to the kid.[/quote]
