I think it was written that way as plot convenience and make Tommy continue to look as a loner.

Disney would have made sure his parents were there. The MMPR writers were usually really good though.

Re: Why weren't Tommy's parents there?
 

ah yes that's right.

no they wouldn't have.

I wonder if Disney would have considered casting fans as Rangers?

Perhaps Tommy was shy about introducing his parents to Kimberly? Or they arrived later.

Re: Why weren't Tommy's parents there?
 

Maybe he knew Kim's parents were divorced and didn't want to throw it in her face that his were happily married? Tommy was a great boyfriend like that.

But wouldn't he offend his parents? And everyone else's parents were there anyway. It had to be thst the parents couldn't make it.

Re: Why weren't Tommy's parents there?
 

The Kimberly Devorce thing is a good excuse. But I also think his parents must have been busy.

Re: Why weren't Tommy's parents there?
 

I lean more towards that they were busy with fheir jobs or somethinfbutg! Tommy wouldn't not invite his parents to Parents Day. Kim would have understood anyway.

Actually not inviting his parents to protect his girlfriend 's feelings is deffinitly something Tommy would do. He wasn't too bright.
