I've got a bit of a dilemma for the game this weekend...

My daughter has a basketball game at 4:00 and the game is at 2:30. Have to be there at 3:15 which means could watch some of it then DVR the rest...

BUT I just don't know if I can watch some of it then LEAVE and also don't know if I could sit here and know its on and NOT watch it... :conf2:

I guess it'll be DVR and earplugs and don't talk to anyone...

We had to do it last year during the SEC Champ game, we were about an hour behind on the dvr by the time we got home... It's tough...

I couldn't do that. I would have to take my blackberry and keep up with the score...

Re: Game Dilemma

I know exactly what you mean.....my daughter is playing fall softball and their end of the year tournament is this weekend. :mad: It's double elimination and the championship game is set for around 4:15. I guess since I'm pitching, I could always throw em a few change-ups or bust em inside, high and tight :biggrin:
Nah, I hope that we're there all day and win it all.....I have my whole life to watch Bama play, but my 4 little girls will only be with me a short time.
WOW, I just teared up a lil bit there......I'm just not sure if it's for my daughters or cause I might miss the biggest game of the year :wink:

As will Bama. Go to your daughters game. take a blackberry or a radio and listen to it. My sons football wrapped up this past saturday. We got beat out in the playoffs and the youth league championship is this saturday evening. I am not upset at all about not going to championship, haha.

I have missed so many bama games with my daughter cheering (who is now on JV, so it doesnt effect it anymore) and my son playing youth football. Its part of being there for your kid. Of course i coach mine so i couldnt miss if i wanted to. My son has three more years of youth football, then on to JV for him. I wont miss any of his games due to Bama games, although EVERY saturday i wish our games would get rained out, haha.
 
Re: Game Dilemma

Missing the commercials is nice, but sometimes I watch them to not remind me that its already happened.

There IS something about knowing that its already happened versus knowing its live - even if you don't know the outcome.. make sense?

of course, being there would be better -- :eek:

That reminds me of a sad little song. Really pay attention to the lyrics of The Cat's in the Cradle one time.............you can never go back and make that time up.

Yes, she might have OTHER games, but she'll never have THAT game again!! Always make time for your kids and hopefully, they'll always have time for you later
 
Re: Game Dilemma

I think too many parents take that whole "being there" for every single event of their kids' lives too far. There's such a thing as moderation in life. Obviously, if your daughter's game were a championship game, or if she were involved in something she wouldn't be doing again in the foreseeable future (in other words, if it were "special"), then being there and foregoing your own interests would be of the utmost importance. BUT children also need to learn they are not the center of the universe, not everything they do is special, and sometimes other things take precedence in Mama and Daddy's lives. She would in no way be emotionally scarred from you missing part or all of one of her games.

Besides, you better start training her early so when she grows up she doesn't go and schedule her wedding on game day!:biggrin2:

This is why so much of our youth have such a sense of entitlement. And, no, giving them too much now does not automatically translate into them wiping your backside when you're old.:rolleye2:

Re: Game Dilemma

I pretty much have the same bleep problem. My daughter plays travel softball and is in a big tournament in Chattanooga this weekend. Thank the good Lord for the invention of the DVR. Even though I will know the outcome by the time I watch it, that is MUCH better than not at all (even if we fail to win, can't use the L word).
