I know its the BP and you totally have a legitimate bitch. But I"m also going to gently suggest that as much as a PIA it is to get out there when you really dont want to or its hard or whatever that it needs to be done for your daughter's sake.
She threw a fit 2 years ago doesnt mean you never try again - maybe she needs to experience that struggle to get good at things. maybe it is a struggle to not ride the bus but hanging out at the school playground after school is pretty easy way to make friends. Offer to do something for the PTO with the understanding that your circumstances may be changing job wise. They'll understand and likely be grateful for whatever help you can give now even if you cant give it in a few months.
If trial classes are out of your reach financially, then you absolutely cant afford a dog. Nothing is as awful as knowing your dogs need medical care and you cant provide it financially. And stuff happens. like the night my dogs cornered a racoon and it attacked. Both dogs really should have seen emergency vets but I simply didnt have the $500 or more it would have cost me.
It still stresses me out. I think its fair to say to your dh I dont want a dog and we cant afford one even if I did.
