[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is almost worse than the tracking app post. Can parents please cut the cord? Especially about accessing their kids medical records? You’re just asking your kids to sneak around, not use the on campus medical, etc. Where is the trust??

My child is not quite there but I can say after having helicopter boomer parents, getting to college where they didn’t have easy access to my grades was a huge relief. [/quote]

The medical waiver is not so I can track my kids medical records.  it is so if they end up hospitalized and unable to provide authorization at that time I can communicate with the hospital.  Never had to use it but is nice to have.  Got Medical POA for both kids once they turned 18. Will keep it until they have a SO they want to make that instead.

As far as grades, my kids simply provide them at midterms and end of semester.  First kid has ADHD/Anxiety/ExFunc issues so while I didn't "helicopter", I stayed involved enough to be supportive and help ensure they got on the right track in college (freshman year was challenging, kid stuggled in major and readily communicated with me so I could help calm them down and figure out a plan that THEY executed fully.
