[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just nod and smile and tune out. Ask yourself every time, is this the battle I want to pick? I agree with him btw. This stuff is over the top [/quote] I neither agree nor disagree, but DC is excited about the event and wants their dad there. I’m warring between not coddling my child with these “things” and also raising a confident girl who doesn’t have “daddy issues” because her dad never showed up for her, or made fun of everything he did show up for. [/quote] My father has a similar attitude to your DH’s. Does your DH show up to other events he sees the value in? Does he praise her for her hard work and achievements? If so, a little “this is dumb” regarding certain ceremonies and awards is fine and healthy; it’s good for her to learn that different people, even her two parents and her, put different emphasis on different things. Don’t fight him on it and just show up yourself.[/quote]
