[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looked at another way, OP, you are prioritizing your parents' attendance over your husband and son's.  If it's that important to you that he be there, reschedule.  [/quote]
It’s kind of unfortunate that the in-laws are playing a role here. I think it’s a red herring. The dad is being a jerk regardless of what the in laws think. [/quote]
I agree with this. OP, I know you can't control your DH but assuming this is important to you and to your kids, I really think you should talk seriously with him about how much it means for him to be at this important ceremony rather than at one of many sports games that will be completely forgotten by this time next year. But definitely leave your parents out of it. Bringing them into the conversation gives him the excuse of saying you are just afraid of upsetting them instead of caring about him/his opinion and it's hard to counteract that because, at least the way your original post was framed, it [i]does [/i]kinda sound like the real reason you're upset about this is mainly because your parents are (also) being jerks about it.[/quote]
