[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not being snarky.  This is an honest inquiry. I've seen similar posts where parents use words like kind, gentle, nurturing, etc to describe attributes for a college. Does this continue until adulthood? Kind and gentle graduate school, employer, landlord? No need to be defensive. Just wondering when you "release the reins"?[/quote]

Yes, perhaps.  How about that.   Ever see those lists in that Washingtonian or other mags about "best places to work?"  Indeed, they are likely employee and family friendly.

The landlord, etc. does feel snarky.     (opt for a kid and gentle mortgage on one's own home).

p.s.
You can "release the reins" for your family whenever you like.

Good response! [b]DCUM is full of snarky know-it-alls.[/b]

Finding a kind school for your kid to go to is not about control or helicoptering. Kids at this age are still developing and trying find their place in this world. The type of college a kid attends can play a huge role in their development. The right school can help a very insecure kid mature into a self-confident adult. So while you claim not to want to be snarky, though I think you are a liar, you do come off as snarky and like you think you are somehow superior because this is not a thing for you and your superior child. Kids mature at different rates. They are all different and require different amounts of coddling. This is not something to snear at or look down upon, contrary to what you mistakenly believe.
