taking a 5 year old to a JLS concert?

poppyolivia

we took my daughter to a concert when she was 6, we got right to the front, it rained ALL DAY..yip it wasn't a few hours this concert..we were out in the rain soaked to the skin for about 12 hours or something....she LOVED it...so hell yeah take a five year old!!!!..I also had a ticket for my 2 year old but my friend looked after him and we took her 7 year old instead!x
My daughter is 10 now and just been to another concert with her dad....again right at the front soaked to the skin....the rain follows us!;)..she loves that sort of thing!

No doubt her teachers would be extremely happy to have a crabby 5 year old in the class due to a lack of sleep - or are you suggesting that the OP teaches her daughter that it ok to bunk off school when she feels like it at this early age?

Not all children get crabby after one late night, maybe you need to get more sleep, you sound quite crabby yourself.:p

My dd's school sometimes has fundraising events in the evening after school, which means younger kids staying up past their bedtimes. Most kids can handle one late night, it would be different if they were going to GED late every night.

If she cant see, stand her on the chair... :beer:

if people do that then, it just means everyone has to stand on their seat to get a view, so it makes no difference

i had a really good view at a concert, until the kids in front decided to stand on their chairs - as an adult it isnt acceptable to follow suit, espec as i knew it would then make it worse for the people behind me - show some consideration. if you take kids to a concert, just accept it that they wont be able to see unless you have an aisle seat or are in the front few rows

Go for it, just get the ear protectors.

You know your child and if you think she will enjoy it then get the tickets.

I just can't believe that the OP is / was seriously considering letting her 5 yr old daughter go to JLS pop concert !!!!!!.

I mean what happened to childhood ? It would never have crossed my mind to take Junior to a pop concert when he was 5 - and I'm sure if I had OH would have had me certified. Would have been abit different if I was pregnant - he would have no choice in the matter!

I'm not a killjoy but tbh I think the OP is completey mad to even think about taking her daughter

I agree with you mountainofdebt. I am concerned that a 5 year old even knows who JLS are. My daughter (soon to be 5) has no idea about pop music.

Another vote for no here - I took my goddaughter to see Justin Bieber in March, and it was awful. The screaming from hormonal teenagers was horrendous - I had earplugs in (having experienced the same thing at the Jonas Bros a few years before), and my ears still really hurt. There were a lot of young children there who covered their ears the whole time and were distressed - not a nice thing to see.

OP - why not wait until your little one is older, and can properly appreciate it?

What on earth are you thinking? My daughter (nearly 5) loves JLS because I bought her a random selection of contemporary CDs, and that was the one that stuck. But no way I would take her to a gig, not in a million years. She is 5, not 15. Get a grip.

I don't there is anything wrong with knowing about pop music at that age, I used to adore The Osmonds and bought my first LP when I was 7. I do think it's too young for a concert though, I think I was 11 when I went with my dad to see Showaddywaddy
