[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m part Cuban. I didn’t have a quince. Not because we were poor (which we were), but because my mom and dad fought so horribly at every social occasion that it was impossible for them to be in the same space and behave. Parents need to set everything aside for these milestones. [/quote]

There's no reason for them to be at every social occasion nor sit together. This is why it works for some couples to have separate celebrations. We did because it wouldn't have worked with our families, having the exes family, new spouse's family, and so forth.  There are some incidences where both sets of parents will be there, but there's never a reason to fight.  Graduations and sports events they can sit far apart with their new partners. Most do in fact, why the courts designate what holidays each parent will have the child.

This isn't going to be a milestone, in fact OP's husband is planning this on his own with the majority of his side in attendance.
