I am 43 years old. I have raised two children to adulthood, worked full time while attending school full time and I am about to complete my first Bachelor's Degree. My Parents don't see the value in education and I am trying to teach my children that I do see the value, which is why I am so heartily pursuing it. I'm an only child, I'm a private person and I really don't want any fuss. But I feel like a monster for not picking up the phone and saying "hey! I did it!" to someone?!   


My children will be traveling with me to my graduation in a few months. I don't want to tell my parents (because longstanding drama and again- it's not important to them) and I don't want to tell my boss or my coworkers or really anyone- this is personal, and this is mine.   


TL:DR AITA for graduating and not wanting to include anyone else? Should I call my folks and at least give them the chance to be happy for me?
