Is it normal to only want family to come to graduation?

I signing up for the navy. My mother and her Bf said I have to invite them if I graduate. I want to only invite my family so I decided I might just not invite any family at all if I do, so at least I can say I did not invite anyone else either. Is it normal to only want to invite family to graduation ceremony.

    Don't you think it's a bit early to think about graduation, when you haven't even been accepted into the navy yet?
    Boot camp is some months long and the academy is 4 years, so why not wait a while and see how you feel a bit closer to that time?

    Is this really the sort of thing you need advice about? It's nonsense like this that makes me think we're doomed if "the children are the future."

    • Since they said I have to invite them both.

        "They" said. If you're old enough to join the military is there anything "they" get to tell you what to do about. You can walk away from your family and never look back if you like. That this is something that is even on your mind is what gives me pause... if this is bothering you, how can you be an adult? And I don't mean chronologically, that's a really poor way to measure whether or not someone is an adult.

        • Since all my family knows each other. You cant invite one without having to invite everyone else. Since they are going to hear about it.
