Do parents attend Admitted Student weekends for grad school?

When I went to grad school, the 12 members of my doctoral class in clinical psychology ranged from people who had just graduated from college to people who were as old as 36. I don’t remember any admitted student weekends, but if there were one, I’m sure parents didn’t attend. Someone who had needed Mom or Dad at their elbow wouldn’t have been admitted to the program. Grad students were considered to be mature adults.
