[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a minimum, as a kind thing to do, wait until May when the dust has settled.   There are lots of hard-working and great kids out there who are not getting into the college of their choice.

[b]Ideally, wait until move-in day at the dorm[/b].[/quote]

Why? What if your long-lost friend who you worked with 20 years ago before you became a SAHM and your friend moved across the country also has a child who is gong to be a classmate of your kid. Let’s say it’s at a big school like Michigan, where they might never meet or, at least they might never know that their moms were old friends if they did meet. Wouldn’t it be nice to connect them over the summer? Maybe they’ll become friends too![/quote]

You seemed obsessed with this notion your kid will find the kid of a long-lost friend. In this scenario in your head, do they date and then get married and the whole extended family spends holidays at a ranch in Wyoming? [/quote]

I assumed that was a /s post, but maybe I am wrong.[/quote]

Different poster. I don’t know why you would think that. I have a college friend and a grad school friend who live in different cities—Chicago and LA. Both their sons started at Wisconsin a few years ago. We connected them over the summer before freshman year and now they are close friends. Would they have become friends without me connecting them? Maybe, who knows. What I can say is they both appreciated it, as did my friends, i.e. their parents. I don’t talk to either of them frequently enough that I would have know about the Wisconsin connection without Facebook and their posts.[/quote]
