Mum branded 'selfish' for refusing to cancel holiday for daughter's school ceremony

For most parents, there's not much we wouldn't do for our children, and that includes moving heaven and Earth to be with them to support them when they need it. But one mum has been criticised by her husband because she refused to cancel her holiday plans in order to attend a ceremony honouring her adopted daughter.

The mum explained that she adopted Meg as a teenager after her parents passed away, and now at the age of 25, the student has landed an important internship and her achievements are being recognised in a special ceremony at her school. However, the ceremony falls during her parents' holiday, and her mum doesn't want to change her plans.
