Dd (10) is in a school choir, last week they teamed up with the local symphonic orchestra and put on a beautiful performance which they have been working on for ages.
I was giving the kids boxes of chocs last night for their teacher when I thought of the choir teachers who might get missed out of presents so I wrapped 2 Yankee (small) candles and wrote them each a thankyou card saying how much my family enjoyed the performance, how lucky they were to get that chance and that I appreciated the hard work they do. I said dd really enjoyed it and wished them a good Christmas.
Asked dd on way home if she gave them and she said she did but that they were smiling/laughing over the cards comparing them in that way where you think something is stupid (she did an impression- sort of when you grimace at something). I feel really stupid now. I changed the wording on both so they both looked different.
What if they think I'm angling for dd to have solos or something. She's an average/good singer but def not the best.
Aibu to feel like crap, didn't care whether they liked the pressies but the card with a genuine thank you was what I wanted to give them.
