[quote=Anonymous]And btw, I went to college, too. Knowing how parents/college kids communicated back then really has little bearing on today's communication. [/quote] Not being snarky, but maybe it should have a bearing on it. I mean, DD is in her second year of college and we don't call her, she calls us. We know she's busy and she'll call when she has the time away from studying and her other activities. We purposely don't text and call and Skype... FWIW, we are really close and I cried like Hell when we pulled away from her dorm this year (same as last year) and I still miss her, so it isn't that we don't care. They need to be allowed to feel almost on their own and call home on their schedule. It's just like parents who say that 10 year old children "need cell phones" because they're available now. Yes, we CAN contact them more often and more easily now, but should we? Just something I think about. [/quote]
