I love Fatty threads. I would usually not give a serious response. But I can say that it can be very hurtful when a parent makes uninvited negative comments about your partner. All that should matter to a parent is whether your child's partner makes your child happy. Not things like 20 lbs more or less. Even if you think that, you should keep it to yourself. You are putting your child in a very awkward situation otherwise.
Wow....where do I start... Everyone talking about the girl's weight is totally missing the point. Dude...this is your SON, not one of your drunken frat brothers. Fatty...serious question. Were you drinking at his graduation? Or immediately afterwards? Could this be the real reason your son is ghosting you? Man, your life sounds like it's pretty chaotic and full of drama. Maybe your kid is just tired of it. Maybe he needs you to be his father, not his drinking buddy. Personally, I'm the type of person who, if someone tries to bring any kind of needless drama and chaos into my life, I just cut them off completely. Even if it's family. And yes, even if that family member still talks to his college fiancé (who got proposed to on TV).
He had two graduations. I went with the step-dad for some beer after the first one because he had a friends party to celebrate. We all actually went to the same place. 2nd Graduation he picked a craft beer place, so I got some food for them from across the street at a food truck. We had a great time while I was there. I even missed my flight because we weren't paying enough attention to the time. Pretty sure I already spoke about that. And it was his graduation. Did we go to some craft bars? Sure, but we were never there long. Mostly restaurants.
Only people I ever spoke about it to was his step-dad and here. Never said anything to him because obviously that would be pretty awkward.
Okay.....but do you think you may have had too much to drink at either of the 2 graduations? My kid's School of Rock gigs are always at either bars or breweries. And yes, wife and I will have some drinks. But always in moderation, because I'm there to support my kids, not to get hammered.
