    Funeral & divorce
    My ex husband and I and our children will be attending a funeral of one of HIS best friends. He wants the kids ONLY to sit with him and me sit somewhere else. I think we should sit together. Who is right?

    A funeral is a time to pay your repects to the dead. He needs to grow up and stop thinking of himself.

    Based upon what you have written I agree with danielnoahsmommy. But, if you have a decent relationship with your ex, this shouldn't be an issue. What is his reasoning for not wanting you to sit with him? How long have you been divorced? Was it a bad breakup? Does he have a girlfriend or a new wife who will be attending as well? There is too much information missing, and the fact is, if he is so dead set against it, getting into a huge disagreement over this is not beneficial to anyone. Don't force a situation onto him that could result in more friction and stress while he is trying to cope with the loss of his friend. People at the funeral will notice it and you certainly don't want to bring that kind of attention onto yourself.

    I don't think it really much matters who sits where. I don't think there's any right or wrong answer to this.
