Mom refuses to throw a graduation party for her 18-year-old daughter because she wants her dad to be present: 'She says she won’t have a graduation party unless her father is included.'

Her mom needs to put her daughter's wants first on her graduation day.

Graduation party season can be chaotic, especially if you attend a large high school. I remember weekends during the last couple of weeks of my junior and senior years, when I was jet-setting around my hometown to three or four parties a day! You can get a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner out of graduation parties if you play your cards right and get enough invites!

The hardest part of graduation parties is the scheduling, because you don't want to plan your party on the same day or at the same time as someone else's in your friend group! A lot of graduation parties don't happen the weekend of graduation for this reason. You also need to make the difficult decision of whether to have a more family-oriented or friends-oriented graduation party. If it's all about family, you should probably have your party the same weekend as graduation, so aunts and uncles and grandparents who are in from out of town can attend. If you want to prioritize friends getting together for one last hoorah, there should be no problem scheduling the party a couple of weeks before or after graduation. As long as the graduate has the party guests they want, that's all that matters.

The teen in this story wants both of her parents at her graduation party, but her mom isn't having it. She doesn't want anything to do with her ex, who abandoned her before she had their daughter.
