[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't understand the harsh response of many posters[/b]. I lost both of my parents when my kids were small. First my dad when DC1 was a few months old, and then my mom when DC2 was just 1 and DC1 still a toddler. Even in my deepest grief I recognized that my kids' needs come first, and that we needed to plan around things with their best interest in mind. So if that means that my spouse would stay behind with them while I had to fly solo to my parent's funeral, so be it. It's not personal; it just comes with the territory when you have small kids.

You don't understand how different people need different things when grieving?  You don't understand how someone may (reasonably) need their spouse by their side at their parent's funeral? You don't understand how much of a jerk you have to be to refuse your spouse's request for your emotional support to be there at the funeral because you are "tired"

Mon Dieu! Life must be terribly confusing for you![/quote]

NP.  They’ve already worked it out.  DH is over it.  The family made a decision jointly that would work for all of them with school schedules and Covid (and possibly other factors that we don’t know about).[/quote]
