[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re just favoring DD over stepson.  I would try and do both.  Grad school is a big deal, much more important than finishing high school.  [/quote]

Of course she should favor her daughter, over her stepson. What?[/quote]

No, there is nothing of course about it. You're just not a nice person.

OP, I would absolutely try to do both. Yes, it will be a late night but this is one of those moments in life that you just don't skip.[/quote]

The son is not a kid.

He is an adult man, closer to middle aged than high school.  He is closer to middle aged than his sister is to kindergarten.

Of course they should prioritize the daughter's high school graduation over the adult man's 3rd graduation.

In fact, if he dotes on his sister as much as OP says he claims to do, then he should cut his own graduation festivities, scheduling them another day, and fly out right after his ceremony so he can attend [i]her[/i] graduation, making that the priority since high school graduation is a much larger milestone than a phd graduation, and he is a fully grown adult man, not a teenage child.

There is zero chance you'd be saying any of this if both kids were OP's bio kids. Pretty disgusting, actually.

OP herself wouldn't be asking the question either. She would make it work. [/quote]

I doubt this is true. It doesn't work out logistically. I have twins so it's very likely that one of us will end up going to one graduation and the other will go to the other one. It's not like we prefer one child over the other, and they're both biologically ours. It's just that sometimes life is difficult. [/quote]
