I have two elementary aged kids, and both DH and I attend all kid events when we're both able, so naturally their sibling comes with us as well. If they have conflicting events, we divide and conquer. I guess this question only applies if a child is old enough to stay home alone?

Younger child is typically dragged along because I have no choice. That child complains but winds up having fun playing with other kids. Older child needs to come support younger when possible. It’s not equal, but that’s life.

Growing up, I did a sport in middle and high school. My siblings and parents never watched (but very few did). It wasn’t the expectation, and I didn’t care at time. In retrospect, it would’ve meant a lot.
