Good for him to know where the kids will be and when. That way he knows not to expect to just show up and see them whenever since they are busy and it serves to 'remind' him of the graduation.
Everyone that knows my xh knows he can't remember anything he is told any longer than 5-10 minutes. I was his constant reminder, wake up call, etc. for nearly 20 years. In one of his moments of clarity and openness in all of the mess of the last 18 months he blurted out that he was 'sick of me talking to him like he's a child. He doesn't need to be reminded of things that are important.' So imagine the chagrin when, after I had told him that Marc was testing for his black belt and needed to be at the other karate studio by xx time on xx date and it was his weekend, Marc missed his testing and was knocked out of the running for his belt because his dad.......forgot! I guess it wasn't important enough for his dad to remember. He called me yelling about 'why didn't I remind him. Now the kid is WAY behind and can't re-test! Blah blah blah...' Hmmmm....I just quietly said, "I'm sorry, I thought my instructions were to not treat you like a child and remind of things that are important.'
He shut up REAL fast!
