[quote=Anonymous]Kids don’t stop needing to feel love and support because they grow up. HS graduation is a big deal and I’d never want to miss it. But a graduate school graduation is also a big deal.  While the vast majority of us can expect our kids to graduate HS, graduate school means doing something that isn’t just expected. You definitely have a tight schedule but I don’t think it’s an insurmountable obstacle. Is there only the big all university ceremony or a smaller ceremony for his department? My kids attend UMD and they have the huge football stadium event but also individual graduations by college. For example, engineering has one. Business has one. If he has one of those, maybe it would be easier to attend that. If not, you can always come up beforehand to celebrate him in advance and fly home with your daughter before the ceremony while DH stays behind and flies out immediately after. I’m a huge stress ball who doesn’t enjoy flying so I understand that it just feels like overload but I’d still try to do what I can. For comparison sake, my sister doesn’t even blink when it comes to tight schedules. She will fly from one commitment to the next with just hours in between as a seasoned traveler. Just do your best but I would find some way to make him feel you value his accomplishment and his place in your family. [/quote]
