[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know. I think it is pretty weird. I think most grandparents who are loving would fall over themselves to get here if the grandkid really wanted the person in attendance. I know mine would have. And certainly my parents would. But everyone here has crazy families. So YMMV. [/quote]

Really? They'd fall all over themselves to get to a high school graduation?  I mean, it's HIGH SCHOOL.  
I grew up very close with my grandparents - brunch or dinner once a week, sleepover over any time there was a three-day weekend, calling my grandma just to chat, etc.  I'm 42, and can't remember if they were at my high school graduation or not.  I remember that my hair was in a french braid, and can envision the picture of me with my parents that morning, but that's it.  My brother didn't come - I think he had something going on that day.  But it's just high school.  And I didn't graduate from college so it's not like there were other, bigger graduation ceremonies.  It's just not that big a deal.[/quote]

Yes.  Both sets of my kids’ grandparents and my only surviving grandparent and his wife (he’s 93 and she’s 86) asked to attend and attended my sons’ high school graduations that happened last year and 5 years ago. [/quote]
