[quote=Anonymous]Why are you so horrifically judgemental and petty? She’s great just the way she is.

You wouldn’t believe how innocent and childish  a lot of college kids are. It’s a GOOD thing. I taught microbiology labs at UMD and it was refreshing to teach young people who were still kids at heart. They matured enormously in college.

Not keeping her room tidy is not a sign of immaturity - it’s a sign she’s a bit messy, and might always be a bit messy. That’s OK. If she likes the girly esthetic, that’s fine, plenty of women are like her and she has time to change esthetics multiple times in the course if her life.

What matters is whether she’s academically prepared for college; and whether she has enough practical and social life skills. Unless she’s severely ADHD, highly anxious or autistic, she’ll very likely be fine. And even then: one of my kids has severe ADHD and is on the spectrum, and is doing well in college. He brought multiple stuffed animals to his dorm room.

And stop being so hypercritical! I had a hypercritical mother and put an ocean between us for my own sanity. We haven’t lived on the same continent since I turned 20… 25 years ago.
