Parenting and The Music Program

in #kids7 years ago (edited)

The little one came home today excited about the music program. She has been sick for the last three days and we let her go to school today because her temp finally broke yesterday. But she is still very congested and has a nasty cough.

So when she came home, she was ecstatic to say the least. She wanted to go and i understand why, but we had to consider the fact shes been sick and her voice is very cracky. Plus when doing her homework, she had reading and you could hear the strain in her voice. We had to make a hard discion and that was for her to not to go to this one.

If you have ever had to tell your child they could not go or do something they wanted, you kmow the feeling. I know that I feel aweful. I really wish she had not been sick this week and did not have so much congestion. I was hoping medicine would help but it seems to kinda help but not very much. I feel like a crap bag because we had to tell her she couldn't go.

We have been trying to make it up to her. So seeing as she has been wanting to put on a show for us, we are gonna let her and my little sister put their show on for us. So it may make it better hopefully. Plus we have another surprise for her.

Just felt like blogging this because I wanted to see if any other parents have any advice on this subject.
