DC's SLAC has a list of suggested supplies. [b]We're shopping for them [/b]this weekend![/quote]

Call me crazy, but why can't an 18 yr old headed off to college shop for their own school supplies?[/quote]

Did you ever think that maybe - shocking for some parents, I know - that some of us actually like to spend time with our kids and vice versa? And since they are headed off to college those times are limited. My DD is headed to school in the fall and I will be shopping with her. Of course she will get some things on her own, but we have a really good time together and it's not intrusive, but rather another small and enjoyable activity I get to share with her before she leaves. She enjoys my company and asks me to come along with her. I'm the farthest thing from a helicopter parent that you'll know, but I still enjoy spending time with my kids! I don't understand parents like you who seem to think that spending any time with your kids must mean you are a over-involved parent...[/quote]
