Oh my goodness… these are exactly the times where adults revert to being children!!! How pathetic is this?
There are reasons for difficult divorces, I understand, but when it comes to weddings involving your children, can you not set aside your insecure, immature and low self esteem pride and let your son/dau have their day? Get over it.
Each parent can go home early if they must, but make an appearance to the ceremony and/or breakfast - everyone! Get over it. The day is not about you! (I’m speaking to those unreasonable parents. And, if one set of parents stay home out of spite because they can’t own up to it, it’s liable to cause hard feelings in the future throwing guilt trips onto the newlyweds. For the 3rd time - get over it!)
Newbiedoobie - I wish you lived closer so you could attend. And should. But, if he’s your ONLY son or ONLY child - I would NOT miss the nuptials! I hope it all works out.
Cheers!
