[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the harsh response of many posters. 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. [/quote] So you had a different mindset then op’s husband. So your experience isn’t relevant. This isn’t about how to deal with your parent dying. It’s not even really about whether toddlers should go to funerals. It’s about how you emotionally meet your spouse when they are grieving. OP seems annoyed and unwilling to bend in the face of her husband’s grief. It doesn’t sound like that happened to you.[/quote]
