[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see the big deal. I never attended any of my graduations.
Not high school, not for by BSc, not for my MBA.

I don't need to put a gown on, they MAIL you your diploma.[/quote]

Yes, I know people like that myself.  But if the graduation ceremony is important to the graduate - then parents of the grad should go.  If the graduate is blowing the whole thing off, feel free to miss it, of course.[/quote]

Total troll.

We're actually the opposite, making our DD go to her graduation next year.  She was a very troubled teen and it took a lot of years to get her life together.  Counseling, rehab, tough love, we all went through hell.  She's gotten her life together and went back to school and will be graduating next spring.

She claims graduation isn't a big deal and we don't need to come, but we want to celebrate it as a major milestone and accomplishment in her life.  We are very proud of her and want to make sure that as a family we mark this occasion.[/quote]

Congratulations on your daughter's graduation.  I think I'd be pushing her to go if I were in your shoes, too.  But there are other situations where the diploma is really all the grad wants.  I know that's hard to believe, but I've seen it with my own eyes.[/quote]
