If you could only take one child to a concert... (parent, girls)

[NicoleJ]

I won 2 tickets to a Demi Lovato/David Archaleta concert (no clue who she was, just that she was Disney.)

Well, apparently both my girls love her. My 6 year old LOVES her. My 9 year old loves her. I can't buy another ticket b/c the seats are assigned, so we wouldn't be sitting together. Apparently, it would be a bad thing to take them both, hand them the tickets and run like hell, lol.

I don't know if my 6 yo would like it as much w/o her older sister (she's not big on crowds) and she's young. But like I said, she LOVES Demi and wants to go.

My 9 yo loves Demi and would like the concert, but says it's ok to take her sister. NOW she wants to be selfless, lol.

help?

Tough one! Has either of them been to a concert before? I personally would probably take the older child. Since you have to choose between them it seems like that would be the most unbiased way to make the decision. The six yr old won't be happy but maybe you can arrange something fun for her to do while you are away that will take the sting away at least a little.

No, neither has been. I think I'm leaning toward my 9 yo, but it's just that she's been so many places this summer w/ her best friend - beach, pool, overnights, etc. ugh. I think my mom had it easier - it was just me.

I would take the older one. Usually there are more responsibilities assigned to the oldest and they should have the perks that go along with it.

I don't envy you though, I wouldn't want to take a 9 or a 6yr old to a concert. Come to think of it I don't want to take my 15yr old to a concert.LOL

Then turn around and make a big old mommy-daughter date for the 6 year old. Then everyone will be even-Steven on mom-daughter date time and the concert will be forgotten.

I would choose the older child. Tough though. It's a bit easier for me since mine are almost six years apart so the "well, he's older" goes over a little easier....

I'd sell the tickets, buy them an I-tunes card, burn them each a copy of her latest CD and take them BOTH somewhere else fun.

BTW... this is from the perspective of the middle child, the one who was promised that it would be my turn "next time"... I had three siblings and was never in the right place, the right age, etc.

I always said "That's okay" when I missed out. But, it wasn't really.

When you found out you won - who did you think about taking FIRST? There's your answer.....

[DubbleT]

Buy three new tickets, scalp the two you won.

[jtur88]

Easy. Buy a third ticket for yourself, let the two kids sit together. What do you think they will do without you nearby---burst into flames?
