So I just found out moments ago that Skids graduation has assigned seating ! Really freaking out about this bc I can only imagine how incredibaly awkward this is going to be. Plus, of course after the graduation skid is coming over to our row for photos. Ugh. If I can get thru this then I prob don't need to worry about a situation this awful until skid gets married. And hopefully that won't be for a LONG time. I just wonder WHY the he'll you would have assigned seating when the majority of kids have divorced patents. It's like they just want to make an important time in Skuds life an equally unforgettable time for all involved.

OMG, assigned seating !! WTF ?? Are they ready for WW3 to break out ??? What next, letting the Skids and BMs decide where to seat us?? If it was up to my SD mine would have been in the nearest Cemetery!!!

At SD's graduation, we didn't have assigned seating and I still somehow got stuck sitting BETWEEN BM and DH!!! They were either bickering or BM would make faces at DH around me. That was the first time I met BM. Talk about awkward...

How do you all feel about BM high fiveing my DH when skid graduated? Bc that's what she did and I found it to be kinda bold of her. I felt like high fiveing her husband and saying allright! Only one more skid to go and we can avoid these awkward situations!!

I don't see anything wrong with parents sitting together for one day for their kids sake. And high diving is fine too. My x and I hugged at each of our kids grads and we will dance at their weddings.

Love your kids more than you hate your ex.

I agree, except that only works if ALL parties involved are looking out for the child´s best interest. With my little beeze of a BM, no way in hell that this would be OK!

Sixteensmom that's great that you have a good relationship with your ex, and I certainly don't know the details of your unique situation but as for me and my situation, I , and I'm sure meny others in situations like mine, feel it is disrespectful to be high fiveing, hugging, or dancing with your ex spouse when both parties have a new husband / wife. I feel that if you both feel the need to be so supportive of each other as ex's then maybe you shouldn't be ex's. Your support, love and happy times are to be shared with your spouse, not an ex. You say love your kids more then you hate your ex, but dancing with your ex, hugging him, high fiving him or whatever else has nothing to do with your kids, it dosent make them better people it only makes YOU feel good. It is disrespectful to your spouse and your ex's spouse. Be civil. It's nice to have a non-hostile relationship with your ex for the kids sake but anything beyond that crosses a line, my opinion anyway. I can assure you that my DH and his ex have a decent relationship for the kids sake but not even she would ever dance with him at the kids wedding, and I must say. I'm more then ok with that!
