[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Omg 10:05, I'm so sorry.

My DD can be pretty mean verbally, to me, when I try to nudge her along. And it's nuts! She wanted me to look at some of her essays, and then is too busy to forward them to me. It's been 3 days.  She's busy napping, or eating, or working out...omg.

I think part of the problem is there is a small to-do here, a small to-do there....like getting the letter of rec, or one college that wants an interview, and then there's the thank you email for the interview...just little one-off things, but they all add up. Overlay that with the essays (which I haven't seen except for one) and there's just a lot of unfinished, time-consuming crap.

I think I'm also stressed because this particular kid has been so difficult for so long; for my own sanity I need her to leave our house and grow up.  Because I want her to fledge not just for her sake but also for my sake, I'm doubly invested on these apps getting done---so I can't "drop the rope" and let her sink or swim.  I'd go nuts if she sank, and she stayed home and went to a junior college! [/quote]
