Well, color me selfish. I have missed my daughter’s football games for cheer leading for personal reasons. If it wasn’t my weekend and I had plans, I didn’t attend. If it wasn’t my ex’s weekend and he had plans, he didn’t attend. My child only cares as long as someone is there. And sometimes that someone is her beat friends parents. And I do the same for her best friends parents when they have a personal engagement . I watched my daughters first tennis practice and not the second and she didn’t care. She was hanging out with her friends.
