Dd1 goes to a dance group which is putting on some shows in theatres soon. She's the least talented there and struggles a bit, to say the least but really enjoys it. When I heard about the shows, I checked that they definitely wanted her there, but they were very keen to include her.
So I signed her up months and months ago. I had to sign a form, promising that she'd do all the performances and all the extra rehearsals. We were given dates for the rehearsals but not performances, so essentially I had to sign for unspecified dates. I also paid extra for all the rehearsal times totally up front, since she had to do them all anyway, I thought I'd get all the costs out of the way.
Well, she's now gone to the third from last rehearsal and I have eventually managed to get dates out of them. Had to request, they still weren't readily available. Luckily they all seem to be doable.
But they've now presented me with a list of things they need. You'd have thought, they'd have mentioned it before now?
I've already bought the white t-shirt, black t-shirt, white leggings, black leggings, tracksuit, white pumps, black pumps, which she needs for general dance events.
I've now been asked for another white t-shirt, white knickers, black knickers, white boxers, black boxers, black court shoes, black nylon tights, a silver necklace, black hairbands.
AIBU to think this should have been mentioned when we signed up? The shoes is a bit of a problem. I have real problems getting shoes for dd1 anyway due to extremely thin feet and weak ankles. I'm loathe to buy smart shoes that she can't double up for school, but they want some with a little heel, which I'm not happy about (and not convinced she'll be able to walk let alone dance).
All the underwear!! She's got millions of knickers, but they're all patterned etc. I may be able to get a mixed black and white pack of knickers, but I didn't even know girls wore boxers. Where can I get all this stuff without buying 4 packs of undies that she doesn't need?
Annoyed!
