[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's not his custody week, isn't she old enough to decide? [/quote]

This. She should decide.

I'm team OP and think the dad is selfish to try to make the DD miss her school events. Adults don't need their minor children present to grieve that adult's parent. But it should be up to the DD. [/quote]

Grandma’s funeral is super important.[/quote]

I did not go to any of my grandmothers' funerals (not my parents' mothers, nor their grandmothers, nor my grandpa's second wife's). No bad blood: it was just difficult and expensive to go, and we weren't close. I supported my parents by phone. When I was under 10 I went to funerals for grandfathers (2 of them) who I did not know well and it was not meaningful for me to attend.

If DD wants to go, she should go! If she finds it meaningful, that is great! But don't pretend this is a meaningful ceremony for everybody just because there is a direct blood relation. [/quote]

So selfish, OK we get it[/quote]

It's the same as not going to a wedding for someone you don't know well. [/quote]
