I'm with the other folks saying let it play, but I'm especially reiterating what Rick M said. This is a HUGE life lesson. As adults, how often do we have to fore go that trip with our spouse we've wanted so long because of work or name any other thing we so badly want because we instead need to spend the money/time on something else. This is LIFE and we all weigh our needs vs wants accordingly. That's something you should really sit down and discuss with your DD. Mine is often in a similar situation. She's a little "different", and honestly has zero friends in softball. One of her few friends is having her birthday party this weekend and she REALLY wants to go. However, her team is playing. There is no saying, "I'm skipping the tournament for my friend's b'day party." HOWEVER, this is, "Why don't you two connect Friday evening instead?" We'll pick her up, then go to a movie or whatever you want. THAT, is life, plain and simple. Renegotiate what you can, suck it up and live with it when you can't.
