Attend my undergraduate college graduation?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma and would like some advice. I graduated from college a semester early (Dec 2021) because 1) I could degree requirement-wise, 2) because I had an internship that converted to an offer and I didn't use any of my schoolwork in my work, and 3) I would rather take a paycheck than another semester's worth of student loans. Due to a death in the family, I attended a funeral instead of walking at commencement in December. I personally didn't mind not walking, as I viewed it as a ceremony more for my parents than me. But yes, my parents were upset that I couldn't walk, and they told me in December that they wanted to see me walk in May, to which I said "sure, if I can."

Well, I'm a few months into my first job out of college and walking in May with my college friends is the last thing on my mind. But I got a call from my parents asking what my plans are for May 2022 commencement. I hate to tell them "no", but flying back to college to walk across a stage and then flying back home all while turning comments is just not great. To add to that, in my first week on the job, an analyst on my team was fired and I took his mandates, and a week later an associate I was friendly with during my internship took me out for drinks to warn me that my current associate treats his analysts less than ideally (putting it nicely) and works them hard. I don't mind hard work, but I know it means to not even dare to ask for time off so early into the job. I also think his reputation around the firm is a bit overly negative, but maybe that's because I'm still on his good side.

Anyways, I already received my diploma in the mail and am planning on getting an MBA (where I will actually want to participate in graduation-related events). Essentially I've made up my mind that not only do I still not care about walking, but also that walking in May is just not feasible.

I explained this to my parents a few weeks ago but they brought it up again today. In tears, my mom added that she is an immigrant and I'm her firstborn child; the cultural significance of it essentially means that she "made it" as an immigrant. It made me tear up on the phone hearing her say that (sorry for not being a hardo). I want to give my parents the experience they deserve, but I don't want to ask for a Friday evening (flight) and Saturday (commencement) off or lose my good standing with my boss ~3 months into the job.

Any wise words would be appreciated. Thanks
