DS is doing a piece of contemporary theater. it is the culmination of 3 years work. it is very important to her that I be there.
However:
- It is 300 miles away
- It will cost me £150 for the round trip
- DS (who I would have to bring with me) is 8 months and very wriggly. The train will be crowded. He is heavy. I will have to physically hold him on my lap and entertain him. It will take 9 hours.
I just can't face it. I just phoned her up and told her. She will be coming to my city on tour with a different show soon in any case. I have suggested I come to that one and we meet up. Its not as big a deal to her as the other show though.
She sounds angry and hurt with me.
Am I being unreasonable?
