[quote=Anonymous]I was an oldest kid in my family and had no idea what college applications entailed. My high school guidance counselor was useless. I was busy with advanced classes and uncomfortable envisioning my next step. My mom led my college application process. I wrote my essays and took the SATs, but she scheduled tours, monitored deadlines and pushed me to ask for letters of recommendation on time. I'm certain I wouldn't have managed to apply if she hadn't taken the lead. I'm now a successful adult who graduated from college with a 4.0 and managed to get a PhD and JD with no help from mom. Just stay out of it. Some kids need a bigger push than others. I'm sure the parent is already annoyed the kid isn't more engaged. Stop rubbing salt in that wound.[/quote]
