close early and do not feel bad about it! It is two stinking days.
My daughter and I are very close. It doesn't depend on attending kid's school events. There are a lot of other things that help to build great relationships with own kids. I think the school event attending is at the bottom of the list of these things. It is the simplest one to do but isn't most important.
