3 kids, and I never missed a P-T meeting. NEVER.
Would not have occurred to me. Even if I had to take time off work.
They were 8, 6 & 5 when I married their mother and 14, 12 and 11 when I adopted them.
And from the time they were 8, 6 & 5 I made every one of those conferences.
As should everyone else. If for NO other reason, the message it sends to the kids. And there are a lot of reasons to go. Too many to list. I really can't imagine anyone missing one.
