[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to college a 6 hour flight from my house and only brought clothes and other necessities, like my computer. Sheets, too, and pilows and a blanket — but for those, I packed them in a second suitcase. I think I mailed one box of ‘less necessary’ stuff as I left, knowing I wouldn’t see it until later. During freshman orientation week/day, my college had many organized trips to the nearest Walmart, where I bought all the other stuff I needed. My parents weren’t really involved. They were and are involved in my life, but I couldn’t imagine them caring about whether I had a shower caddy or flip flops. I also made my own spending money at that point.[/quote] This isn't so much about what the kid needs as it is some parents personal need to do one last maternal thing for you. We're all wired differently for the separation. My poor kid was a saint to put up with the overwhelming desire I had not to leave anything unaddressed. [/quote]
