To feel guilty for missing DS first play?

[Minifootballteam]

DS is 3. First Xmas in nursery. Christmas play was today. He has been so excited, singing the songs, asking if I'd be there etc.
Anyway, 10am this morning I got a call from school saying DD (9) had had a bad fall and needed to be collected and taken to walkin centre as she had a nasty cut on her head. Walkin turned in to A&E which meant 3 hour wait and me missing DS play.
I managed to get a friend to go in my place, DD is fine. DS was fine I wasn't there.
I just feel terrible. It was his first play. I've never missed any of my other children's plays. He's my youngest and last child. I have images of him being scarred for life!
Realistically I know I'm being stupid. DD needed me more, friend took photos, DS was more upset about his big sister than me not being there, but I still feel guilty as hell......

for you, you are doing your best and your children and you sound lovely

its just hard juggling it all at times

I’m in the same boat. I am in hospital with one of my eldest and have been here since Monday. My youngest is 6 and did her school nativity this morning. I am gutted I missed it but I am needed here more at the moment.

I missed ds' first nativity today too. I dont have enough flexi built due to kids illness and childcare matters so couldnt free up the time.

So my mum went instead and sent me pics then we sang all his songs again tonight.

He asked me if I was just late then took one look at his sister and threw himself at her and hasn't left her alone since. He seems to totally understand that she needed me so I think it might just be my issues

Dd's first play tomorrow. I won't be there, already owe work hours due to the school being shut because of snow on Monday, can't take any more time off. I do feel a bit bad, but there's nothing I can do about it and I doubt she'll even notice
