Tomorrow is DS2's kindergarten graduation but DS1 still has school. Would you 1) pull him out of school for the graduation. 2) pull him out of school for the day. Or 3) STFU and send the kid to school?

I really suck at this parenting thing.

I'd send him to school. It's not hs and its a bigger deal for you and ds2.

I'd pick between 1 and 3.

I was going to just send him to school but DS2 was kind of bummed that he wouldn't be there so I thought I would gather some opinions. He has perfect attendance for this quarter so it wouldn't be a huge deal but I would feel weird pulling him out all willy nilly.

Well given that your DS2 wants his bro to be there and DS1 has otherwise perfect attendance, I'd probably just take him out for the graduation, but not the whole day. Cuteness.

...Unless that's puts him out of the running for the perfect attendance award or something lol

I would pull him out for the graduation. We take our celebrations super seriously around here lol.

I was going to say send him to school but it sounds like ds2 wants him there. How does ds1 feel? If he wants to go then I would have him go to the graduation since the graduate is hoping he will be there.

If it's important to DS2 and DS1 wants to go, then pull him out for graduation. No need to keep him out the whole day unless he's missing out on some super fun celebration.

Thanks guys. I will talk to them and see what they want to do. They do not have perfect attendance awards until 3rd grade but I am still pretty proud of myself that I managed to get them to school on time every single day they have had a school to go to.
