[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, what a judgy jerk you are OP. [/quote]

Come on. This isn't normal. Have you ever seen a parent cry at a gathering like this? Most of us cry discreetly after dropping off our kid, and no one is the wiser...

[/quote] I'm not the person you quoted, but I've been to high school graduation parties, but I've never been to a party like the OP describes. I teared up as I was saying goodbye to my son, and again as we were driving off after our goodbyes.  But who knows, at a send-off gathering where people are sharing stories?  Maybe I would cry. I don't think it's unusual to feel overwhelmingly emotional in this scenario. OP said her SIL is usually very composed.  It's not like she has a problem with being overly emotional in general. It's not like OP said her SIL threw herself down on the ground and started weeping uncontrollably.  This is probably a bittersweet life change for them.

OP, I don't see any reason to be concerned.
