I'd go to the first day of school over a funeral any day. The funeral is full of people who can give support. Kids come first. [/quote]

I think this attitude does a disservice to the kids.

Part of being in a family means learning to support each other, and the best way to teach empathy is to model it. Some examples include sometimes going to  your sister's soccer game even though you would rather stay home and play legos. Sometimes it means that mom and dad can't make it to an important event because they have a work trip, or they're attending a funeral to support extended family. Other times, your whole family shows up to see your play or your graduation to support YOU.

A child old enough to be in school is old enough to understand empathy.

I can't believe this is even a question! Wow. Just wow.

+ 10000 some people are really clueless and wonder why they end up divorced or in a cold marriage. Kid going to school is not more important than a funeral especially one of a close family member.  Pps husband was wrong period.[/quote]
