I know I am being unreasonable but still overly emotional about today !

Background
( daughter hasn’t been unwell since birth, 20 months in hospital straight unwell )
She does ballet and it’s her escape and she does so well there considering.
She is nearly 5 and she practises all day every day.
Recently they have been working on a certain dance to do a Christmas performance on a local street square.
5 weeks ago she became very unwell she was septic after serious skin infection followed by 2 virals and we nearly lost her again.
She fought hard and as soon as she was stable even though stil having treatment with a picc line in her arm she was at ballet in her pyjamas straight from the hospital bed and back to hospital after. She was armament about this show. So despite being not being nearly as well off as the other parents ( we live in a pretty expensive area, and ballet is expensive ) I paid for the costume and travel there and back so I’m total 40 pound.
We went today and it was chaos everyone in a bundle and a tent we needed to take our kids to to change shoes just before there dance.
Lots of people had Mutiple like 10 people each per child watching so held their space why they went to the tent to do shoes.
I was the only one with DD and I went done her shoes and lined her up ( hers was second dance ) there was 9 kids in total in her dance ) so I’m theory only 9-18 parents. Anyway I tried to get to a place I could see her but no one would let me through. It’s been a long hard few months and I just burst in to tears. I just wanted to see her dance as I don’t really think her health will allow ballet for much longer. I know I was over emotional but I just felt everyone was really rude there was defo enough space for 9-18 parents to visibaly see the kids dance but with the added members of each family that came there wasn’t.
By not seeing her I mean I didn’t see her at all not even a peep of her hands or anything
I know I’m
Being unreasonable but I really want to be selfish and rant.

YANBU poor you! Some people can be so bloody rude.

for you OP - I really do hope your DD feels better.

Would it be possible to ask if anyone managed to video the dance?

I'd be upset too but try and focus on the fact that you got her there and how much it meant to her. She knows you were there too.

I know but she knew I didn’t get to see her, she had been waiting so long for it.
Selfishly I probably ruined her whole day because I was an emotional wreck afterwards and have cried since she has gone to bed to

If there's an FB or whataspp dance parents group I'd definitely check if anyone videoed it? Do they know your situation? Poor you. Well done to your DD though for doing it.

There just never seems to be any sort of organisation it’s like chaos.
Then to top it off the people who had the rent / tree etc
Came over to get in a taxi after we had been waiting for one ( it was cold and wet ) and then stole my taxi 😂we had been waiting for 15 minutes ... then 20 seconds haha the lady was not budging !

It’s been one of those days !

Oh poor you! I'd be the same.

Massive well done to your daughter 🌟

I would be really upset too. Furious actually. But it’s fantastic that you got your daughter there and she has had this experience. You sound like a really caring person. Well done to your daughter and I hope she is feeling better.

Thankyou I feel like the teachers thought I was being precious 😂😂

You sound like a great mum.

YADNBU in the least! You and your family have had a terrible time and this was probably the last straw. There is no shame in crying about it, and being angry. Hope you sleep well and your daughter goes from strength to strength from now on.

Bless you. Life sucks sometimes doesn't it?
I hope there is a video or at least some photographs of your daughter dancing. She sounds delightful. I really do hope her health improves.

Oh darling, I can totally see why you are gutted that you didn't get to see her dance!
Could you get her to do it for you and maybe grandparents and family, as a "Special Show" just for you?

Aww, you’re not being unreasonable. That’s really selfish of the other parents. I bet she is really happy though! I wish her good health.

YANBU. You sound like a great mam and you have such a brave little girl. After a good night's rest, look into finding out if the event was recorded by anyone.
