Dad's 'Don't Attend Their Child's Nativity Plays'

A new survey has revealed that more than one in 10 fathers would only go to a nativity play if their child was playing the role of Mary or Joseph.

Many others said work commitments was the primary reason they were unable to make their children's Christmas play.

The poll, which was carried out by officebroker.com, found that 11% of fathers would only be pulled away from the office if their child was being cast as Mary or Joseph. For the remaining 89%, however, they said they would want to go to their children's play regardless of the role they were given.

Some 83% of working fathers confessed to finding it difficult to get time off work to see their child perform, while just 16% said they attended the nativity every year.

A spokesperson for officebroker.com said: "Christmas, and the weeks running up to it, is an extremely hectic time for parents and sometimes they have to be economical with their time.

"It's understandable why so many dads struggle to make nativities, but it is important to remember that your youngster is only a child once and you'd regret it forever if you missed this part of their childhood."
