I have a first grader and a preschooler. Their Halloween parades are at the same time. But at different schools. Originally, I was thinking I'd go to older son's parade and younger son's party, seemed fair. But my husband takes the car to work so I would have to take the bus. Our bus system is pretty crappy and you can only catch a bus on a route like every two hours; AKA not an option.
Soooo....what do you do?
Do you just not take younger child to his parade/party but let him wear his costume to the older one's parade?
Not go to the older one's parade but to the younger one's event?
Are the kids not normally in school for this? How do the kids get to school otherwise? We don't have Halloween Parades here so I am not sure how they work? Is this something that parents usually attend?
Is there anyway your husband can take a few hours off of work to attend one while you attend the other?
Unfortunately not. He started a new job and is still on probationary period.

None that I can think of. I don't have many friends anymore.

A cab for that amount of running back and forth would be about $50 here.

LOL! I wish I could!

This is probably what I will end up doing. I just feel bad for the preschooler.
