[quote=Anonymous]Mine wound up at a school that’s not a great fit bc they had limited capacity to deal with the process. They also - passively, I think- didn’t want to deal with the family stress about money. Result: At an extremely affordable state university and learning to manage themself, with lots of bumps along the way. I couldn’t strong arm a Type B kid into a Type A kid, and... they’re going to be OK. As a parent I still have to work on celebrating the successes instead of dwelling on perceived shortcomings. We did insist on access to the U’s billing system on their account if we were going to pay tuition. Two years in, kid will never be Type A but shows gratitude for support while trying to keep balanced distance from overly interested parent. Also, as said, doing OK on their own terms. With limited capacity for accepting advice, we can’t protect them from themself. Yeah, don’t love this part of parenting.[/quote]
