[quote=Anonymous]NP. Sorry about those "you're crazy" hysterical posters above but equally sorry about the "decline/limit her to a weekend" posters. I do sympathize with your feelings, OP, and you have every right to own your feelings; it can be emotional for the parents when a kid goes away to college (been there, recently). I know! It's hard. But in all practicality: You had a family vacation together earlier in the summer, and you also do not say how far away she's going to college. If she were going where you won't see her until December, well, I would get your being sad, but still would not try to thwart this trip of DD's. If she were going somewhere she likely will return from, for (possibly) a fall break; a Thanksgiving break; a winter break (which is a month or even more for some colleges)--you'll see her sooner than you think. And if it's close enough, you may be visiting her for a parents' weekend in the fall, if her college does that. Which is it? This one trip with the friend is a tiny, tiny blip in your time together. She might not get time with this particular friend again any time soon, or ever. You might be seeing her again, at least briefly, in a month or two. [/quote]
