Favorite child

Today, it was my college graduation ceremony. My parents didn’t come because they “forgot”, although I told them and had been reminding them for months. Last year was my little sister’s high school graduation. My parents wasted no time going to her ceremony and then took her out to dinner. FML

I'll bet they went to your high school graduation ceremony, too, and one graduation ceremony per kid is their limit. Or, they love you less. Go with the first hypothesis.

While it’s unreasonable for parents not to attend a High School or College Graduation, there could be other things going on that might explain the situation… Maybe OP is not the favorite child; maybe the parents have memory problems; maybe there was a scheduling conflict; maybe parents are reluctant to go out during the current tridemic of COVID, Flu, RSV; maybe college is a long distance away and all of the above were factors… Yes, it was a serious oversight for parents not to attend college graduation - But OP unless you choose poorly your major, you are probably soon going to have a decent job and your own place to live. “Living well is the best revenge” is an expression.

use this as motivation to do really well in life, them cut them off. if they ever need help later in life....oops you 'forgot' 'oh well'... then laugh your ass off while you sit pretty.
