[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it amazing that people on this board don't seemed fazed about their kids going very far away for college. If a kid goes to college far away, [b]it greatly reduces their chances of returning after graduation[/b]. That being said many people in the DC area aren't originally from here and may not have plans to stay here indefinitely, so maybe that's it. They never expected to live close to their kids once they reached adulthood anyways. As for me, my entire family lives in VA, and it seems normal to be close to family. The idea of only seeing my adult kids 2x a year is heartbreaking. If my kid really wanted to go far away to school, I would allow, but I will be honest, I'm certainly not encouraging it in any way. [/quote] I want my kids to live where it makes them happy, and where they have the best opportunity. That may or may not be the DMV. I am not putting my desires or needs ahead of theirs. [/quote] Yeah but sending them hundreds/thousands of miles away almost guarantees that they will be gone for good. And whose to say that if they stayed closer to home they wouldn't have been happy either? [/quote]
