[QUOTE="gsingjane, post: 583396, member: 15986"] Wow, RE, so feeling every single great word you're saying! I had the identical experience with my daughter easy child when she was getting ready to go off to college last fall. My second son (also a easy child more or less) has been staying home and commuting to college, so this was the first "genuine" "off to college" experience we ever had. My difficult child had gone off to college also, in 2008, but wanted nothing to do with us or our help or input or anything. He packed his bag, got on the train and left. We never went to a parents' meeting or orientation, never heard one word about classes or activities, and of course he was way too cool to participate in anything at all. To this day, I've never seen a grade, heard about a class, anything. What a contrast, to actually be involved in a child's life! I never realized how much fun "the college thing" could be until last summer. It was great! Enjoy it but try and resist the temptation to buy everything on the college list! [/QUOTE]
