@redditstories_doggo: My grandmother-in-law's funeral happened to take place on the same day as my daughter's dance recital, but I already committed to my girl before getting invited, and now my dad is furious that I didn't attend. Plus one update. Posted by: u/RecitalFuneralThrow #reddit #redditstories #redditreadings #storytime #minecraftparkour #redditdoggo
It’s her dad’s second wife’s mother? Nah. I’d be going to my daughter’s recital.

People in this comment section put way too much importance on a funeral. The person is dead. She can comfort her father after the funeral.

i still don’t get why she wanted OP there so badly, they’re not close, and she had her husband with her, what support could OP provide?

I would never break a commitment to my child because of the mother of my father's wife of six years (that I met after I was already an adult, a wife and mother/soon to be a mother), NEVER, my child would be the priority no matter what, if it was something more important then the funeral of my father's mil, that had no relationship with me, maybe it could be considered of missing my daughter's important moment, but nothing is more important then my child.

it’s teaching her child that she’s a priority and important. If the woman wasn’t even a blood relative or even close to you then no I wouldn’t say attendance is priority. You made an obligation to ur child who knew you was going to her dance recital, does she need to see that her mom will let her down in important moments? Nopeeeee daughters more important thank uuuu

If she had expected the sister to come as well I would’ve said she could’ve been nicer, but only expecting her to be there and not even inviting the sister when the sister is closer to the stepmother says this was an attempt to force a bond that would never work

NTA … funerals are not for everyone. Seeing you’s were not close. Not issue. Your child comes first.

Is the daughter young enough to not remember? Or old enough to understand why her mother would skip her event? Because I don't think it's possible for both to be true

kids dont forget. I am 42, and I havent forgotten things that were missed. like the one time i was finally in a Christmas concert, and neither one of my patents showed up for my play. they got there for my sisters play just after they missed mine.

nta. funerals are for the living. if the living doesnt wanna go, they dont have to. I'm sending condolences, flowers, and food, but not attending.

honestly I've never met people who demanded attendance at a funeral. oftentimes the organizers are relieved if less people attend

ngl i wouldn’t have gone either. I don’t understand the need to become closer / comfort people i am not close with. being there as often as possible for your children is crucial for their development. something people don’t understand is even if the child themselves doesn’t have conscious memory of something, their body can still remember physiologically.

wouldn't the spouse be the one upset since it's their relative, also didn't watch the video outside of the intro

I don’t get it. She says her dad’s wife’s mother wouldn’t that be her grandmother or if the wife is not OP’s biological mother then what does it matter? She had no ties to OP besides marriage which was chosen by her dad and not OP.

AW it was a minor thing to miss when your dad and his wife were going through something tough should have been there.

there’s only one ah and it’s definitely not op it’s one thing to think out a scenario where kids are going to be disappointed but it’s another to verbalise it and not hshow any comparison for his granddaughter and her feelings just so op would attend his mother in laws funeral not offering any context on the relationship op and his wife have stating mother in law loved op and her girls no was mentioned at the very beginning why was that complete sentence not excepted regardless of wether dad agreed with op’s choice x
