[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe family should take priority over a sports game. By not attending the wedding, the message that is being sent is - 'what I want to do, as a 14 yo, takes priority over any family event'. never mind that the marriage is likely 'forever' and the sports will fizzle out by HS graduation. I think this teaches selfishness on the part of this kid (and all kids where family events are trumped by sports). These kids will grow up and will find themselves choosing going out with their friends over being with a girl/guy they are interested in, leaving their girlfriends or SOs behind because it's all about 'me' right? It sends a wrong message to the kid that their interests take priority over family. But maybe, family isn't as important to the OPs sister as her son's game. [/quote] +1 This is what it all boils down to - the message the sister is sending to her kids and what they will likely take away from it.[/quote]
