[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so much better reading the responses. A little. I'm reminded that my precious little snowflake isn't the only one going so far away. And that he will be fine. Which I already knew. It's ME who's struggling with it.[/quote]

My son was an Ivy contender who was a shy, sweet mama's boy who competed against himself, not other kids. An ultra-competitive school would not be the right environment for him. That's why he went to Stanford. We agreed that either he would fly home or at least one of us would fly out to visit him once each month.  We did this his entire freshman year. In his second year he went to a friend's house for Thanksgiving and went on a spring break trip with friends. In his third year he would tell us "We don't need to do a trip next month" many times.

I went across the country for college. If my parents had shown up every month to visit, i would have been mortified.[/quote]

I have to agree.[/quote]
