[quote=Anonymous]I would encourage my child to go to the funeral since this is not a HS or college graduation. None of my 3 kids even had an 8th grade ceremony and the trip was optional and maybe 1/3 of the kids went. An 8th grader/rising 9th grader is old enough to deal with a little disappointment. After all Grandma died, even if she was distant (my kids grandma sees them only every 3-4 years for reference). I don’t think it’s reasonable to have expected the entire family to schedule the funeral around an 8th grade graduation. If your child really feels strongly about this, they can talk with dad directly. Keep in mind that if you were married, there would be an expectation that she go. [/quote]
