Delimma, the Pub can decide

friday I'm supposed to go on a field trip with my daughter and her class to the Ringling Bros. Circus in Atlanta, they have a new kid in class who didnt arrive in time to get a ticket, tickets for the section they'll be in are about $80 (discounted for the school to $15) so picking up another ticket at the last minute is out of the question, apparently I'm the only parent attending this field trip, took a day from work to make it
My daughter want's me to go, I want to go but I also dont want to see this kid get left out of his first and probably the best field trip at this school because they'll get all access, meet the performers, see the animals up close and even get to try on costumes and stuff

i'd let the kid go, but that's just because it wouldn't matter to me either way. i'm lazy, so i'd perfer the day off work to just chill.
then again, i'm not a parent. so you gotta go with your gut on this one man.

Do whats right. Your daughter will understand later on. Maybe she can have the new kid sit next to her, and she can get him included with the group!
good luck.

split the cost of the ticket with that kid's parents, if they don't want to throw down 40 bucks on their kid, you shouldn't throw down 80 for their kid...

What grade is it? and how many kids are going when you say class?
I'm leaning toward you going though. This is one of those treasured moments. I remember going with my dad to the circus when I was little.

I got a discounted ticket so it's not costing me $80 if I go, if I give the kid the ticket I'm out less than $20

I have the same memories, I saw ringling brothers when I was about her age with my dad, one of the few memories I have of the bastard, she certainly wants me to go. while I do a great deal of stuff with my kids it's unlikely I'll be getting the chance for some time given how scarce work is right now

go with your daughter that way you can explain things to her when someone falls to their death from the tight rope or gets eaten by a lion

I would give the ticket to the other kid, but definitely make sure to sit down with your daughter and explain it/perhaps plan another date to go to the circus together, and tell her that it will be just you two. Might take some sugar coating to keep her from getting upset, she might not fully understand the situation.
I think you might avoid some flak from the other kid's parents, they might think you're being an asshole going to the circus in place of a kindergartener, even if it's for your own daughter, in my experience other parents tend to be quite blind to that kind of situation, if it's their kid at a disadvantage they tend to get really protective.
