So, I'm graduating in a month, and debating whether or not I want to take my 3 1/2 years old to the ceremony. I'm pulling strongly towards a "no way", but a couple of people, including my mother, are telling me to bring him,saying after all the work and sacrifices I did to get a degree while working, and raising a kid pretty much on my own (husband is military and was gone A LOT), he should be part of it.

I'm afraid that, other than not understanding why we're there, he will be so bored, and restless, that me and my husband won't fully enjoy this moment. I'm afraid my husband will be outside trying to keep him busy, while I walk up to get my diploma - my husband is also supposed to take pictures.... The ceremony will last about 2 hours, and I have to be there an hour before, so is going to be a long time for him to be there..

What would you do?
