[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most parents go. Your kid is mentally preparing to move away from you for four years and she is asking for this time with you. Listen to her.[/quote] Oh, please. No she isn't. She's just nervous and wants her hands held. She'll be fine. Stop with the guilt trip.[/quote] She’s “just nervous and wants her hands held” is exactly they dismissive parental attitude that results in you, in your old age, realizing all-too-late that you’ve been dismissive of your child’s needs. Sounds to me like maybe someone needs to snap on the old hi-fi and dust off the LP of Henry Chaplin singing “Cats in the Cradle” and give it a listen. Because when your kid sticks you in a nursing home and doesn’t have time to visit, despite your requests, you might hear that familiar phrasing come back to haunt you—“she’s just nervous and wants her hands held held”….and I bet it’ll hit different.
