Jackson dreaded it when his elementary school had parent activities. He felt so embarrassed that his classmates looked at him and asked him questions about his parents never attending. Jackson didn’t like hurting his grandparents’ feelings when he hid parent invitations; it’s just that he really, really, really didn’t want Grandma and Grandpa at his school. Jackson really, really, really wanted his parents there instead!
