We had the dress rehearsal of our very large scale school play all day today .
The children were not forced to be in it. They auditioned. They have known since mid October that this rehearsal was unmissable in almost all circumstances and that if they couldn't commit to it then they couldn't be in the show.
on Friday night as he left for home one boy (with a large-ish part) told us he can't come as it's mother's day. I rang home explaining the importance of the rehearsal and pointing out how long it has been scheduled for but the response was no, he can't be away from his family on mother's day.
And now they are cross because we've kicked the kid out. They were warned.
The other 70 odd children were all there.
So, AIBU?

AIBU to think that 'but it's mother's day' is a crap excuse.
