[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Learning to be an adult means learning to balance family and friends. Sorry but OP's daughter should have carved out time for her mother. I let my child go out all three nights and on Friday, too, but made sure we had a meal together every day. I'm a single parent, too, and this was how my married friends worked out the balance -- time with family and with friends. How did things end?

PP,
[b]Ha to the college sending emails to parents. That is too much! No wonder parents cannot cut the cord[/b].[/quote]

Confused. The college is in fact telling parents to cut the cord. But that's what colleges need to deal with these days - managing the parents as much as the students. DCs college had to be very specific during summer orientation that the session with the advisor was only for the students, not the parents. And this is at a big state university. My DC at a SLAC had a student/parent reception at drop off and then had to essentially tell parents it was time to leave.[/quote]
