[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's my fault.  I need to get off social media.  But the hand ringing about sending kids to college is hysterical.  This week I've read posts about:

--child's roommate does not have a social media presence, should they contact residential life
--child's roommate wears pants, while their child wears dresses.  mom wants to switch roommates
--why can't parents stay beyond 2 hours to set up their childs room? Their child doesn't understand what all the packed items are for
--child's roommate doesn't care about coordinating room decor; Their child does.  What should she do?

What posts have you read that make you wonder if these parents are ready to land the helicopter?[/quote]

I am on those FB and social media pages as well, OP. And I also have read the exact above posts and others and found them to be "different". But I also keep reminding myself that most of those sites are nationwide and there really are some lovely but less educated areas of our country. It is obvious with so many of those posts that many of the parents writing in and "wringing their hands" are parents that had never attended college themselves. I try to give a little grace.
