[quote=Anonymous]I'm another parent who can vouch for the fact that your child will soon find her own circle of friends and become less dependent on you. When we first dropped DD off last year, she texted me several times a day for a month or two. Now she's got a crazy schedule of friends and activities, and we're down to a few texts a week, often about logistical things, and then a weekly Skype.

Yes to the idea of feeling like you're participating in her life, without pushing yourself on her, by by things like reading the campus blog and newspaper. It's like learning about her new life without stalking her directly. You can also follow her on social media to which she's given you access (my kids let me see their FBs). But bear in mind that my kids say that their generation is leaving Facebook in droves (partly because we're on it) and now it's all about Instagram, other social media, and even something called Yik Yak.

Now, if I had a good solution for stopping my mom from calling me 3 times a day to talk about her cats....[/quote]
