Sounds like you messed up by not going to the graduation party.
I generally don't fight going to any family event because I like being able to go to by own family events, too. You only have so much time left with parents or grandparents and time with them is better spent than time just doing nothing at home.
My situation is different, though, as overnight visits generally aren't on the table with longest commutes being 4-5 hours roundtrip.

Serious question. Is this really what most of you do on the weekends?
Can't relate to OP's 6 hours away situation requiring an overnight stay, but we are fairly busy weekenders, and dedicating a weekend a month to sitting around either of our parents' houses would be impossible without missing out on a lot of our own social lives. It also seems quite boring and like you'd run out of things to talk about -- nevermind how much I dislike staying in someone's home vs. a hotel in general.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think you can have healthy relationships with your parents via regular phone calls and occasional visits. Hell, my MIL and my mother know details as small as what we eat for dinner most nights, and we don't see either one often.
