Looking for feedback.
Parent A has violin lessons scheduled Saturday morning. They cannot be moved, but happen regularly every second weekend. Missing the lesson would mean a month between lessons. Also means about $30 in thrown away lesson fees.
Parent B signed kid up for baseball. Generally, baseball occurs during parenting time of Parent B, but team photos are during parent A's time, during the violin lesson. Missing the photos would mean that kid misses out on a photo opportunity with the team. Also means about $20 in thrown away photo fees.
Parent A obviously doesn't have an obligation to bring the kid to baseball, but should parent A bring the kid to the baseball? Parent A values violin highly, and does not value baseball at all. Parent B values baseball highly, and does not value violin at all. Kid values both about equally.
I've tried to write this in a neutral fashion, so that I don't give away which parent is me. I want to know what others would do. There is another aspect to this which I will reveal in a bit if I get enough of a response.
