[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand where you are coming from and just like you I paid for DS college. So yes, I have a say on who he invites to his graduation. His father and his deadbeat relatives who never had any interest in him were NOT invited. But they can sure brag he went to a nice school. [/quote]

Was this past tense or you mean college graduation in the near future? If former, please explain how this went. Did you tell your son no or son had no interest in inviting them? Did they try to invite themselves?[/quote]

I am the PP. My DS is graduating this winter. I told DS that if he invites his father and that side of the family, I am not going. He shrugged, "why would I invite them, I don't see or hear from them for years". That's how I found out they were trying to invite themselves! Last time DS heard from his "daddy dearest" was around HS graduation, with the same story, "oh we are coming to see you" and DS went "no you are not". They have done nothing for this boy. They were only interested in him when it suited him. And because he turned out so well, they think they can now brag about him. [/quote]
