    Thought on young kids at funerals?

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Posted

    As a child, I was always taken to family wakes, rosaries, and funerals (as were all of the children in our extended family). I think this familiarity with the process made it easier for me when my father died suddenly when I was 13.

     

    My husband and I bring our dc to family wakes, rosaries, and funerals as well. When my mother (with whom my dc were very close) passed away (two years ago this June), I think being familiar with the rituals made the experience somewhat easier for them.

     

    We're Irish Catholic and sharing these times is part of our family culture. We always finish up with an Irish wake. It's cathartic for us.

    So how would you address this situation?

    I certainly don't think you should be paying for meals other than your dd's. The employee gets paid by the company for doing her job, it isn't your responsibility to subsidize her meals.

     

    Can you speak with the supervisor of the program and find out what the guidelines are? You don't need to bring up any concerns yet if you aren't ready to do so, but having the program guidelines at hand might help you decide how to approach this.
