Decisions, decisions

Now that Noah's team is playing in the semi finals, I've got a problem. Seems my daughter, Lexi, has a "coach pitch" baseball game this Thursday. Same day as Noah's game. Same time as a matter of fact.

I need to be with Noah, as I run the pitching machine for our team in the West Allis Little League. Can't go to Lexi's game. My wife would like to watch our son in another tournament game. I feel she plays second banana to him when it comes to sports. Little League seems to tower over anything else. I feel horrible.

The good news, for my wife and I, is that Lexi wants to watch Noah play. She enjoys cheering. I'm not so sure that Noah would do the same. He LOVES to play. If Lexi had a soccer tourney game, he'd have a tough time skipping his game, to watch her.

How do parents handle this? We both want to be at the same game at the same time. Is it fair we discussed it with Lexi in the first place?

I thought once they got older, this stuff would be easy....

It is Noah's time right now and Lexi's time will come too.You both should be at Noah's game. Lexi & Noah are two different people and even if you feel Noah would not skip anything for Lexi, why worry about it now? It was good you included Lexi in your conversation.That shows her you care. As for it getting easier.... HA !!!!!
