[quote=Anonymous]We always have one parent staying home with the younger kids. I don't think both of us parents ever attended anything at a college together except for graduation. I agree with the PP above that it depends on the kid. Ask them which parent they want at move in. I have not been to all my kids' move ins (big family). It's not the end of the world. The parent who doesn't go for move-in may want to go for parent weekend or just pop by for a quick visit (yes, even if it's a plane flight) some time in early to mid fall. Parent weekend is often just 4-8 weeks after move in. I (mom) typically do the bulk of helping with the organizing/shopping - and all of my kids are a plane fight away - but the more minimalist kids are fine with dad at move in, especially if he ends up driving the long distance and I can pack the car with whatever I want (vs the four target runs on location following flights).[/quote]
