[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A beach week is something that the attendees will probably remember the rest of their lives.  A few hours at an open house, not so much. If I were in your daughter's shoes I would have made lemonade out of lemons by cancelling the open house and going to the beach. It would be better than both missing out on the trip and being resentful that her friends didn't do the same. [/quote]

I'm OP and I agree. I think she should have gone with friends and then driven back for the grad party for a few hours, then back to the beach. I only learned of all the friends being at the beach during the party, "Oh, lot of my friends aren't coming, they decided to go to the beach." She has her own car and we would have let her drive back and forth.[/quote]

I was kind of torn until now. You made it an option for her to go with her friends, and come back to the party, and she's still being pissy? Then the fault is hers alone.

I felt that if your daughter wasn't invited, this was terrible.

And I felt that it would have been wrong to cancel the open house, assuming you have relatives and friends who were planning to come celebrate her.

But it sounds like YOU did everything possible for your kid to have it both ways, and now she's mad about her choices. [/quote]

By the time she told me it was far too late for that to be an option. Had she told me in advance, yes, I would have told her to take her car and drive there and back for grad party.[/quote]
