[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son gets to decide this[/quote]

My son gets to decide without my input? I paid for the college. Are you saying I ought to bite my tongue if my son mentions inviting his father or voice my issue? My son is a pushover and his father will take advantage. Because his father wants to play pretend with his wife, who has zero idea what a POS he is.[/quote]

You are clearly a bitter, bitter woman. You should get some therapy. Seriously -- it could help a lot.

You son's father is his father, whether you like it now or not (and you had some say in that, you know). So yes, for the good of your son, bite your tongue and let him figure out his own relationships. At this point, their relationship is theirs, and has nothing to do with you. [/quote]

I don't forbid him from communicating with his dad or having whatever relationship they do or don't have. I don't even speak about his father. But specific to this achievement, this very costly achievement I paid for and I raised him to be prepared for, why should the deadbeat share any of the ceremony? And bring along his wife so he can dupe her into thinking he had anything to do with it. He was a pure detriment to this for the last 22 years. I'm a bit surprised so many of you are saying he should be there and be allowed to bask in the milestone.[/quote] It is your child’s milestone, not yours.  The child gets to decide.  You don’t say anything, smile, be proud and take pictures.  [/quote]
