[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister is finishing a PhD program this year. She has not found a job yet. If she finds a job in time to walk this May, she will do so. If not, she'll stay at her university for another year, and walk next spring.

The graduation is split between a Saturday and a Sunday in mid-May. The university-wide ceremony is on Saturday, and her department ceremony is on Sunday afternoon. Her university is in CA.

DH has an early morning flight that Monday for a business trip, and we have a 1.5 year old.

The only flights that seem like they would conceivably work on that Sunday to accommodate her dept graduation are late evening red-eyes that get me in at the crack of dawn that Monday (too late for DH because he has to be out of the house for his flight by 4:30am). In other words, I don't see a way for me to go to the dept graduation and get back in time to accommodate DH's trip.

Would you:

1. Have everyone (DH, DC, and me) go to the Saturday ceremony and leave Sunday morning.

2. Go alone to both and try to get childcare to cover Monday morning.

3. Take the toddler with me, and leave DH at home.

4. Go alone to the Saturday ceremony and leave Sunday morning.

5. Not go at all.[/quote]
