I was coming from the fact that there are better experiences that we are lucky enough to share with in the lives of our children that are unscripted and last in the memory longer than school plays. If they enjoy their roles then great you are sharing in that, mine were just extras.

Though with having disabled kids, me and the mrs often get a few "looks". I suspect down below they are pitying us though......

You do have a point - i have attended a few and they were okay - but it really is the other parents who wind me up. They seem to fall into 1 of two categories
1) The middle class *******
2) the chavvy ones
Obviously me and the missus are unique
However if we were categorised then it would probably be as a 1) (mainly cos of the missus)
Children Crying, screaming, moaning. And thats just the conception....

Children usually find these shows great fun. And even when they do not they tend to look back on them fondly.
If children do not want to take part they should not be forced.
Personally I took a day off work this year to go. Baby bp was ill and gave an incredibly bad performance. I smiled and told him how wonderful he was afterwards. One of many things I do for my children against my wishes.
For those who know me on facebook, you will see I was subjected to so much abuse from my children that my brother had to step in to defend me!
I hated every fookin' minute of it.
Some kids like it some do not.....
Bit harsh re the bricking - just expressing an opinion.

Have had to sit through them since kids were about 2 as they did them in nursery.
The horrible middle class bleating idiots getting upset because Cresida and Tarquin were not given the best parts.
The terrible out of tune singing - and do not even get me started on the kids.
Bah humbug

It has been like that in schools for a while now haha.. the whole point of it is in case you decide to post these photos on social media and the other parents may not want their children included in this. Understandable in a way but I know where you are coming from, it does sound a bit silly.
