How should I tell my grandmother she isn’t invited to my college graduation?
Hi there, 22 yo soon-to-be college grad here!
My university only gives each graduate 7 tickets and I am a first gen student so many of my family members want to come but only my grandmother on my dad’s side has outright asked for one.
Don’t wanna dive into too much backstory but I don’t consider her a grandmother because of how she has treated me and my father, and she only goes to any of my events when she can get a photo to post to make her seem like a good grandmother but when I try to set up a dinner one night, I’m ignored.
When I initially told her I didn’t have too many tickets and couldn’t promise anything right there, she went to my dad and asked him to ask me for a ticket, to which he has been asking me repeatedly and I was finally able to tell him yesterday that she was not welcome because there were others I felt were more deserving of tickets, to which he blew up at me and said that I would have to be the one to tell her that.
So long story short, how do I go about respectfully telling her that she is not getting a ticket to my graduation so she doesn’t take her feelings out on my dad or cause issues?
