Double Trouble or Double Joy

Post by Dilbud71 »

My twin boys decided to choose different schools as their first choice.

I was a bit apprehensive but as they had done the hard work I decided to let them have their way.

They both got their first choices but already the clashes have started. The parent workshop for both schools are on the same day.

Well.. They will bring 2 unique experiences to the household. How far is their school to each other?

Wilson's and Wallington Boys so not far.

That is what it is going to happen but DH has not been very good so far at telling me what went on in parents' evenings or events when we have needed to split up so I am not expecting too much info from him. I just wish I could go to both. I just didn't think the clashes would begin to happen so soon.

Perhaps a kind forum member who is going to the same one as your DH would take notes for you as a back-up?

Had exactly the same problem four years ago. Hubby and I went to one each. I think it's the only clash we've had though.

to be honest I wouldn't worry too much as its likely that hand-outs will be given out to parents... :lol: you can always read what you missed..

My DH felt under so much pressure to get it right he made far too many notes :roll:
