Yes, it is hard for me to comprehend. The play-off dates were known weeks ago, so you knew it was possible for the Sunday slot to be filled with Wigan's do or die match, and there was guaranteed to be two nights of that weekend without a Wigan match, so plenty of opportunity for that quality time. I doubt whatever you did with your daughter (on a school night) was anything you couldn't have done any other night of that week, and you going to the rugby on that night wouldn't have mentally scarred her for life.
BBFL:
Maybe not from my own parental experience, but I can recall that my parents took myself and my brother to night football matches on schoolnights, without it causing us any harm. One night in particular I can recall was in January in the mid 90's, an FA Cup 3rd round replay at then Premiership champions Blackburn, which went to extra-time.
We wouldn't have got back to Hull till at least 12.30am, if not later. I would have been 14, and my brother 9 at the time, and he is still functioning perfectly well to this day following that.
Kids are far too molly coddled these days. They can't be up beyond 9-10pm for a one-off, what tosh.
