still too all of the above for an original post. Good thing I have yet another column to link you to!
A teaser:
When, at dinner, my husband suggested that they might be able to be among the first people to see the movie if they went to a midnight showing, the kids went nearly apoplectic with excitement.
My boys had a fantastic time at the movies, there’s no doubt.
They were a little off their game Thursday, running on low sleep. But I can live with that, especially considering the tradeoff: a unique memory they will likely treasure for the rest of their lives.
So why do I still feel so weird about it?
I think I’m experiencing that uncomfortable feeling you get when you realize that you’re letting your kids do something that many, probably most, parents would not.
Even though you feel confident with your decision, there’s that tiny twinge of doubt that says “if nobody else is doing it, could it really be a good idea?”
Not to mention “What will other parents think when they find out?”
