I'm Taking My Daughter To Meet New Kids On The Block!

Yes, I've done meet and greets but they were free. I would not dream of paying to meet anyone, not even my all time favorite guitarist. You've got to resist these things, you know. A child's life is not ruined if she doesn't get to meet her favorite band. I don't mean to lecture--well, maybe I do--but you need a second job and you splurged on tickets?! What happens when you get sick or need that money for an emergency? Yep, you'll borrow and go into debt. Because you wanted to give your kid something she didn't expect. You actually robbed her of incentive to do something like that as an adult. You've fallen into the trap so many of us parents do. I hope you won't do this again. Enjoy the concert and make it your last extravagance. Unfortunately, your daughter might expect such things now that you gave in so be strong and think of food on the table and power for the lights.

Hi. singlemommy. That is wonderful, I hope that she enjoys herself at this concert! I also have enjoyed listening to these guys too. It is a blessing that they are all still alive and able to perform. Many girls loved these guys when I was in middle school. They all came out in the early and the late 90s. I love their songs too. I did went to a concert back in 1998 with my boyfriend at the time. We saw the Lost Boys and Da Brat live in concert! I really had a wonderful time too! I think that we had to pay money to get inside of this concert too. I hope that you and your daughter both enjoy meeting New Kids On The Block! And The Backstreet Boys too! Have fun!

I've never done anything like that before, but it definitely sounds like a lot of fun. I never really got into the music of the backstreet boys, but I did like new kids in the block when they were first popular.

You have now officially become mom of the decade.

I've been to one meet and greet but I didn't pay for it. I won the tickets (front row!) and VIP passes to meet the Rolling Stones!!! I also got to go backstage after a concert and meet Sha Naa Naa, one of my sister's absolute favorite bands because they played mostly 50's-type music. I didn't pay for that, either. My sister had muscular dystrophy and was nearing the end when I heard that Sha Naa Naa was coming to Baltimore's Pier 6 Pavilion in the Inner Harbor. I wrote to the sponsors of the concert and told them about my sister and how she would die a happy person if she got to meet the guys in Sha Naa Naa. They called me with instructions and how they'd handle this. At the concert, they had someone bring us backstage passes and told us where to go once the concert was over. We made our way backstage where my sister was given a photo of the guys and she had each one of them autograph it while we were there. She was in HEAVEN! I've always felt really good that I could do that for her. Now, I hope you and your daughter have an absolutely wonderful time next month at the concert! I hope they allow cameras so you can take a photo of your daughter with the guys! (At the Rolling Stones meet and greet, we weren't allowed to take photos but they had their own photographer take photos and they mailed one to me once they were developed.)
