My husband would not miss it for the world! He might well not feel comfortable, but he would at least be there, and not make a fuss about it.
As we have all said it is a sad world when a man cannot be with a young girl without there being some unpleasant thoughts (that is putting it mildly) about it. We play bowls adjacent to a children's playground, and there are often young men with children playing there, this I think is the sign of the times, when mum goes to work, and it is a shame that we should be suspicious of them, but I must admit I am, and to be quite honest a little ashamed of myself.
