[quote=Anonymous]We have 1 recent college grad, a current student and one who's about to go to college. In our experience, the message at most of the parent events during orientation is "step away from the young adult.":) Other than that, families weekend is fun and a chance to see your how your kid has settled in, take him/her and any friends whose parents aren't able to attend out to dinner, maybe go to a concert or athletic event and shop -- not a big deal and not so different from how I remember what was then called parents weekend. And the parent advisory councils, etc., existed even in the '80s -- because they're fundraising vehicles. Bottom line: participate as much or as little as you and your child would like, but, this is not something to get worked up about or to frame as a helicoptering parents v. hands-off parents thing.
