[quote=Anonymous]Your stepson is being unfair. High school graduation is a big milestone, and your DD should not have to risk missing hers. It’s her turn for HS graduation, just like he had his turn. He should not be pressuring her to skip her graduation so that she can attend his. He is a grown man. Is he immature?

Is your stepson’s biomom and her family in the picture and going to his graduation? I totally get him wanting to have someone there. Your family will likely have to split up. Or you and DD go for part of the celebration but leave early enough in the day to comfortably return home for her graduation. Your husband can stay back and fly back at night if he wants. So you may be there for a celebratory dinner for stepson but then not actually see the moment he is handed his diploma. And that would be ok. He needs to be flexible.

In your shoes I’d quietly book a cancelable hotel room NOW for your stepson’s graduation, the just tell him that you and his dad will discuss the best way to handle it.

Can you tell us the geography? Where are you and where is stepson’s graduation?

Also, is there more to the emotional story here that were missing?[/quote]
