I don't think I'm an embarrassing mom? I don't dye my hair bright pink or wear "interesting" clothes- I'm very "hands-off". I've been known to skip parent-teacher interviews.
And I get teenagers don't like their parents around much in front of their friends. But seriously- i only want to sit and watch! I won't be interacting with her friends! And I get it- it's NBD- just a silly school band, it's not the grammys, I'm not being beyonce's mom, whatever. I'd just like to see my daughter play a solo piece in her school band - they are performing at a local uni. What is so dreadful about that? I have never seen her play trumpet properly since she started with the school band a couple of years ago. i am paying for that instrument every month!
She is very vocal in her refusal that I shouldn't go- and the argument threatens to become a horrible fight about a bunch of other stuff about family issues- non-related to the band and music.
Anyway, I'm really tempted to go and just slip in the auditorium and watch the show. WIBU?
