[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not reading your emo-novel, OP, but all I want to say is:

1. Funerals are difficult to plan at the best of times. People get weird about them and there are always differences of opinions.

2. Your children are adults. Great. You delegate your representatives to the one you cannot attend. Divide and conquer!

All I want to say is that it's evident you didn't read the post, as is your arrogance and general nastiness. Next time, save everyone the trouble and keep on scrolling.[/quote]

You can be sensitive all you want, but actually OP is not clear at all about her plans, and keeps saying "we". So this plan above has the benefit of being clear.

OP goes to FIL's funeral. Her grown sons attend Grandpa's funeral, and one reads her eulogy.

It's sad, certainly, but there's nothing OP can do to reschedule again. Like her mother says, it's fine. Grandpa would have understood.

Her children should be at their grandfather’s funeral for themselves and for their father. They shouldn’t be skipping their father’s father’s funeral for a great grandparent’s funeral when it was unnecessarily scheduled to overlap their own grandpa’s funeral. What nonsense.

If there were some exceptional circumstance that made the great grandpa’s relationship with her children than their relationship with their grandfather, OP would’ve probably mentioned it as an additional layer of complexity. [/quote]
