Kid getting married invited both parents?

Question

Did your daughter or son get married, and you had an ex and he was there as the father or mother, did you get along? Did you talk at all? Did the other person Father or mother give the kids a hard time for having you there?

Answer 1

only if the Father or Mother are kids (mentally) themselves

Answer 2

This is about the kid and their happiness.  Suck it up for one day and don't let the ex get to you.  Even if the ex does something mean, ugly or hateful, don't act out or even let the ex know that it bothers you.  Be the bigger person and that will drive the petty ex crazy.  

I had a friend whose ex's new wife made some finger foods for a planning meeting and lace them all with a lot of wasabi.  My friend didn't even act like it bothered her and she just threw the thing in a house plant of the the new wife when she wasn't looking.  The ex husband had to know about it too because neither one of them even went near the food. My friend even was gracious and said thank you for opening her home and for providing such lovely snacks for their planning session.          

Answer 3

My cousins parents were separated, but both were present at her wedding.  At the reception, they sat at the same table, spoke with one another and others. They were able to keep peace for her day.  Why would a parent give their kid a hard time over inviting the other parent?  To do so is very selfish of them..surely they can keep peace for a special day in their child's life.

Answer 4

It s their wedding day and i would think most people could set aside their differences for one day to participate in their wedding.  I have a large family and two brothers have not spoken for several years, but when we had our reunion this past june, everyone attended and there was no animosity shown, and no fighting.  They did not talk to one another but everyone had a good time,

Answer 5

I'm the child of divorced parents. My sister and I have different fathers.

For my sisters wedding, my mother threw a fit about having my sister's father invited. She even threatened not to come to the wedding (which is very immature and self serving. It was my SISTER'S day, not her day). Finally she calmed down some. He came to the wedding, sat in the back, and left as soon as he congratulated my sister.

My wedding, my mom was fine with my father being there. They even took a picture together with me. It may have been a bit awkward, but there were no fist flying - lol.

I believe the parents need to set their differences aside when it come to this stuff. these are days and memories for their CHILDREN. They shouldn't be petty and insecure. You picked the ex to be the other parent, so it's not fair to now punish the child for your poor choice.

Answer 6

your both the parents for your childs sake get along!

Answer 7

It is ok to have both parents there, but the best decision is to keep away from the ex while you're there. That way you don't deprive the child of either one of yours presence, but also don't cause a scene that could embarrass him.

Answer 8

i was the kid in the middle, and both of my parents where at my wedding and made fools out of themselves I don't understand why adults can't control themselves for one day and put there child first? I promise my children this will never happen as much as I dislike there father I will not ruin a big day for them, weather it is a birthday, graduation, wedding or birth of their children, I will always put them first. And get along with their father.
