I am with you on this one. Mainly because my parents split when I was 7 and my dad and I have had an on an off relationship (mostly off) most of my adult life (and it has been off for the past 8 years and I don't see any sign of it being on ever again)

Had I had a good relationship with my father, I would NOT require FH to ask my dad (I'm grown dammit), but it would have been a sweet gesture

FSUZeta, congrats to your daughter! Have you been taking notes of what not to do from the MIL thread?
