[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]

That he is jaded but your child is not. These are stepping stones for them and you dont have to encourage but you can be supportive.

Does he remember the feeling of looking out and seeing his parents in the audience? How it made him feel? For me, I was always a little embarrassed but not as embarrassed as having no one when everyone else had family around. There should be more of those versus the events you cant make it to. [/quote]
