What you think about me sending my children to school rather than to their grandfather's burial?
I think that it's not very respectful to their grandfather and the rest of their family. Why do you think letting them skip the funeral is good?
Going to the funeral might be too much for them.
I think that it is important that they go to the funeral. I think that death is just another part of life and you cannot shelter them from that forever.
No. I don't want to take the chance of them being pulled out of school.
I understand your concern that it's too much for them. But if you continue to over shelter your children they won't be ready to face what life has to throw at them. I highly recommend you allow them to pay respects to their grandfather.
