Commitment and Courtesy
|

This year, the play hadn't been going so well. There were a total of five kids--two my sisters, and three siblings from another family. Two weeks ago last wednesday, they suddenly didn't show up for practice. Then, on friday, they said that they couldn't do wednesdays anymore. I try to be flexible, and of course I didn't say anything, but prior notice would have been nice!
Then, today, they were supposed to get here at 2:30 for practice, so we could run through it once before the final play at 3:30. It is now three o clock, and not only are they not here yet, but they didn't bother to call either! I realize that this has nothing to do with the kids, as they can't drive themselves here, but really! is it so hard to show a little courtesy and call to say you will be late? By thirty minutes?! Or more...
Am I being unreasonable? I understand that things come up, and that getting three kids moving can be difficult, but... Once you have committed to something, shouldn't you follow through? On time? And isn't it just decent, and the right thing to do is show common courtesy?
Sorry, rant over. But really!
