[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you remind him that the grandparent got to see the kids while they were still alive. That’s more meaningful for everyone involved. This model of thinking that you have to fly everyone across country having just said your goodbyes is nuts. DH has to go. If the rest of the family weren’t selfish jerks, they wouldn’t want you to come. This is how my family operates. My grandmother died (in a small family) right after my son was born, via c-section. Every other member of our small family group called me and told me not to come, because winter, newborn, healing, etc. Face time is not the primary value of family importance.[/quote]

So, DH is a selfish jerk for wanting his wife and children with him? Seriously? Do you ever listen to yourself?[/quote]

DP, not that PP. The OP's DH and his family are being selfish, yes. Not jerks, IMHO, but selfish.

It is perfectly valid to place greater value on the kids' having seen grandpa when grandpa was alive than on the idea of everyone attending a funeral, especially now.
