[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I guess it's how she's processing her child's departure. It is awkward, but will probably trail off naturally.

When I left for college, my parents bought a dog. Everyone processes differently. [/quote]

Exactly. Everyone is different Mute or just scroll past the posts. [/quote]

This. I don’t think it’s appropriate to post that much about an adult child. Especially if that child doesn’t explicitly gree.   But every parent processes the empty nest and  move in differently. Both my sophomore kid’s roomates have had moms that hung around for 3-4 days after move in — until classes start—. And try to spend most of each day with their kid (which Dad says never goes well). I don’t get that either.  My DD wants help getting her stuff moved in, the room partly unpacked and a Target run for perishables and extra Command strips, or whatever. And then gently starts to hint that we take off. That’s fine, I us hanging around makes it harder for her to settle in and make the transition to school/ back to school.

This is one place I give parents grace. And mute for 30:days if I find it too annoying. [/quote]
