[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]… Other than “get over yourself”?

Every time one of our kids has an event he doesn’t agree with—primarily school send-off “graduations” and “participation” trophies—he makes a big deal about how stupid they are. When our oldest was in Preschool and then again in K he made a big deal about how you “don’t graduate preschool/K”. DC was too young at the time to pickup on it. Because of COVID, our youngest missed this experience. But now oldest is moving on to middle school and will have a “send off” ceremony, and then a few days later, a “clap out”. DC is really excited about it and expects her father to be there. I already told him about the ceremony, and he had a fit (it’s a secret event so DC didn’t hear.) I want to quell him in a more mature way than by saying, “Grow up!” Any advice?[/quote]

Any "graduation" other than high school and college is ludicrous and so are "send offs" or 'clap out."  But, your DH shouldn't rain on their parade.  If he doesn't care enough to be excited for his child, (no matter how ridiculous he thinks the occasion) then you picked the wrong man to be the father of your children [/quote]
I mean, even celebrating HS graduation is a bit ludicrous. I mean, what loser doesn’t graduate high school? It’s not a feat, it’s completely expected, typical and normal, and in all honesty, not any different than completing any of the grades before 12th. [/quote]
