Which Christmas show do I go to? Quick help please!

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

Ds6 and ds5 have their concert today. There’s a morning performance and an afternoon one. Y1 parents go to the morning, y2 to the afternoon. If I go to the afternoon one I can take them home straight after. Ds6 would prefer this. But... it’s ds5’s first day back at school after being off sick. He’s well but was so tired he fell asleep at 4.30 last night (up now though!) There’s a chance he may be very tired by the afternoon. There’s also the chance ds6 may come down with the same thing. Do I go to the morning one in case one of them misses the afternoon performance or go with ds6’s preference? If it wasn’t the concert I’d have kept ds5 off an extra day to recover, but he’s been asking to go back to school since yesterday lunchtime and already missed the school visit from Santa.

I'd probably go to the morning one to give your youngest some support. But explain this to your eldest so that they don't get the hump. (My eldest would feel slighted at first but after an explanation would be calmer).

Since you'll see them both in the concert. Youngest child is 'needs ' based attendance and oldest is ''wants' .
Def morning OP.

I'd go with morning. I opted for the second performance with DD once and she threw up after the first and couldn't take part in the second, so I missed out. Could you turn up at the end of the second one and pick the DCs up early too?

I'd go to the afternoon one. Either youngest is well enough to be back at school or he isn't.
