We had Curriculum Night yesterday for our middle child.
He was miffed I didnt tell him about it. Actually, I didnt even think to tell him since he has been totally involved with work. So I told him about the youngest's Curriculum Night which is next week. He was going to go except he had to feel free to take phone calls from work and leave to shout at people over the phone out in the school playground. Well, since that means he potentially will miss the information (not to mention shaming us with his public behavior of not caring where he is when work calls) he had to admit he cant go.
And since this would have applied to last nite's meeting, it didnt matter whether he knew about it or not.
