Funeral Advice/Guidance QUICK
As my sister, payroll princess posted earlier, my FIL passed away on Sunday, he was a sweet, thoughtful, kindhearted man who loved his family unconditionally. He was the best grandfather in the world to my two sons.
SInce he has passed away, my SIL has been "difficult" to deal with.
1st she told the funeral director "we" don't want a limo for the family. My husband said yes we do, she thought it would be easier for her husband to drive them and the Mother and I could drive my husband and our kids. My husband was very upset, was tearful and his voice was shaky, he thought it was proper and right to have a limo, eventually my MIL agreed to have a family limo. (MONEY is NOT and object). Tonight my husband tells me that his sister said "mom said she only wants the 5 of us in the limo, ( MIL, SIL, her husband, my husband and myself) She said my kids could drive themselves in the van behind the family limo! I am beyond ANGRY! :thedolls: my husband was upset but said he "didn't want to get into it with her today, I told him that my kids were burying their grandfather and I was not going to leave them alone, I would ride with them or I would tell the funeral home tomorrow that I wanted a 2nd limo and we would ride alone in that! AND I would pay for the Limo myself!
I feel that my children are being treated like second class, worthless nothings.
Again, MONEY is not an issue in the LEAST ( for the last 15 months, it was $10,000 a MONTH for the place my FIL was placed in, and that didn't put a dent in finances for my MIL)
Am I wrong to feel that my children should NOT be left on their own and left out of the "family" car??? I asked my husband "what would Gramps do if it was Grammy being buried? Would he exclude his grand sons?" Hubby said "absolutely not"
My sons are 18 and 23 They are the ONLY grandchildren!
Please be honest, am I being too sensitive?
How would you handle this issue?:(
