[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 230417, member: 3306"] I think that if the kids are young it is up to the parents to get them to the meetings. If it is the parents who want them to show and not the kids, then it seems that the parents would have made sure that they made it. But there might have been scheduling conflicts, work issues, or what not. But it seems that in every activity my kids are in, there is always a parent who will come get the kid if you have to work overtime or something. Tough call. I do agree that if you make exceptions for some kids then you will have to make exceptions for every kid, but it is your call. I would look at the circumstances involved. If the kids want to show, I would let them. If the parents are b#ttheads about it, then, no. I have found that most of the time, it is pushy parents. Too bad the kids get caught in the middle. How do the other parents feel about it? You have to give 100% for these things. Personally, when I see kids with terrific animals, especially if they are very young, I wonder how much work they actually did on them and how much were parents. Helping and providing guidance is one thing. Living your life through your kids is another. Have seen it a lot, especially in sports. [/QUOTE]
