[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would love to know how many of the folks posting here are in your shoes. So easy to say go. As for graduations, etc., they're down the road

OP, could you do it and not look upset? That is my concern. Have you done anything with them before?

Going is best for your daughter if you can look like you are having fun. Honestly, I think it's nuts that shared custody puts us in these situations. People who have not lived it do not get it.

We lived through this, at the graduation we sat by ourselves same with the ex. That also went for sports events etc.  We followed the court ordered schedule, worked out just fine.

Holidays, birthdays weren't celebrated with the ex....none of us would have entertained that notion, lol.

What works for some may not work for others, each to their own.[/quote]

To the other pp, shared custody didn't put you in this situation. Having a child did. No matter what else happens down the line, choosing to have a child with someone is accepting you will have a lifelong connection to that person no matter what. Adults have to do lots of things that suck when they bring kids into the world.

(This isn't a carp on OP btw who I think is handling this pretty well but some comments on this thread are beyond.)[/quote]

It worked for us, no life long connection either!  Sorry many don't share your view.[/quote]
