Ok, think I probably might get some stick for this and it's probably been done to death already but...
...have just come back from DD1's first school event (she's in Reception) which was Harvest Festival. The Headteacher apologised for lack of space in the hall and most of the audience were standing. It seemed like there were loads of grandparents there with prime spots, and I saw sweet FA tbh (and I probably wasn't the only one).
Now, I totally understand if they come as a "family representative" if the parents can't make it, but IABU to think it's slightly selfish for a family group (ie. saw a few of Mum&Dad and grandparents) to take up spaces meaning that one mother on her own (who admittedly is probably getting het up because it's her DD's first "big thing" at school ) gets to see bugger all?

to think that parents should take priority over grandparents at school events?
