[quote=Anonymous]That sounds stressful, OP, and exactly what you don't need during the already stressful college admissions process. I would not tell your parents anything. Be blunt: "We're trying to minimize stress during the admissions process and feel you risk contributing to that with your shy-high expectations, so we will not be sharing a blow-by-blow of her path to college. Thanks." And if they get upset, well, that's their problem. If you want to see them at Thanksgiving or something, your daughter will need a script, and you should be ready to defend her. Or maybe just don't go. I can't emphasize enough how important mental health is during this process. You need to your daughter to focus, and her grandparents are going to distract her.[/quote]
