[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 598439, member: 14557"] Problematic part of this is, that I have to worry how it reflects to easy child. If we behave, difficult child is most likely written of as a bad seed and his issues don't reflect so much to easy child. If we don't behave, it is considered 'something wrong with the family' and that is a huge red flag also when it comes to easy child. And people who do have a lot of influence over easy child's sport career would hear, if I or husband would behave in the way that would raise eyebrows in these events. As odd as it sounds, this is more important for easy child than difficult child. difficult child can live through his bad rep, easy child can't really afford one, even though difficult child is the one who deserves it and easy child doesn't. These meetings are short moments in my and husband's life, we just try to get through them and behave exemplary way because that helps our kids. It can suck though. At least today we have had pleasant day sailing far away from the program they had for parents for today. I'm very happy we had a good excuse to skip this day. Night on the boat and other day of sailing will likely make me feel much better. And as I said, it wasn't all bad. Food was decent and this one guy who made a fool of difficult child last fall was very nice and rescued us from having to suffer rest of the evening. [/QUOTE]
