Dee's Diary....
My Stuff
So maybe I am childish, greedy and immature
July 02, 2008 @ 06:11:34 pm
My blokey is graduating from uni next Friday, and I want to go along with him. Seems normal to me, yeah?

Well, the thing is that he only has two seats to the actual ceremony. He's promised one to his gran who is travelling down for it, and the other is left open to either his mum or me.

I know that everyone is instantly going to say "oh, his mum should go!" and for the most part, I agree. However, I feel like I almost "deserve" to go for lack of a better word, because I've helped him through everyothing in his four years at uni. I've stood by him when things went wrong, I spent hours upon hours reading and re-reading his work and disertation and I feel like it's the end a journey we've both completed together. When he first left for uni, it was a test for both of us. And now it's over, I want to see him graduate. Is that so bad?

Frankly, I wanna go!

Do you agree with me or am I being really childish? It's so hard, because his mum dooesn't need to do any of that stuff I did; she's his mum and that's enough! Which is fair enough. But oohh *sigh*

...I want to go!

no i dont agree. his mum is still his mum no matter what and even if you end up getting married and having half a dozen kids she will still be his mum. you should respect his wishes and not put him under any pressure to pick cos i know who my bloke would pick and i wouldnt ever want to come between a bloke and his mother. she can be your worst enermy if you let her.
i have boys and if some girl was putting pressure on my son to pick a girlfriend over me or his dad or gran then she wouldnt be coming to my house again and i would make damn sure they broke up bloody quickly in any way possible

It's a hard one mate, you are not selfish and I would want to go. But as a Mum itis something you think about when they are young and 'if and when they graduate' you want to see that like if they get married, if they have a child etc etc. That is such a tough one. My Mum missed my graduation and only saw it online and on a video, this time round she is determined to be there, she said it was one of the one things she regretted the most.

It is such a shame you both have a right to be there

Hope it all gets sorted out

Wow, I can sympathise with that.

I don't think you're being childish at all. Sure, the Mother might argue she did what you did
over many more years but I still feel for you. Gatecrash!

Any chance he could try to get an extra ticket from someone who isn't using their tickets?

Yes, that's what I'm so upset about! Because like I said, I know a mum is a mum, and I know she should be there.

And I'm not making him pick!!! I'm telling him to disregard his own mother. Course I'm not! I'm simply saying, I'm upset about it.

I think I'm at least within my right to be upset. As far as getting the middle of a son and mother, I'm NOT doing that. No way am I like that (little hurtful there). I'm practically their second daughter, and his mother would not jeopardize our relationship over something like that.

Fin.

Sorry, but his mom has done a lot more for him than you have.

And it's his mom.

Since you asked, yes you're being childish. IMO.
