Every month a different pair of classes host an assembly and parents (of those classes) are invited. The kids (at least mine) don't seem invested in our attendance. It means more events (if you've got >1 kid) but they're way less crowded.
Also a spring musical which I think will be chaos.

It annoys me as we aren't sick very often (we had a total of 2 sick days all last year between the three kids). But they always manage to mess something up.

I would just put in an obvious fake number if I was going to be there to fix it if they noticed, but it's too much for a 7 year old to have the conversation.

You would think so! Someday there will be a data breach and it will all change? But for now "no you can't go to the birthday party because the waver is stupid" would be a hard sell.

I'm glad you were in your vehicle. We once turned a corner in Yellowstone and there was a bison about 5 feet in front of us resting on the trail. It was uncomfortable.

Our kids daycare is really good about getting them out even when it's super cold, but they seem very strict with air quality. This is worse than the dead of winter.
