[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a pre-med group for parents?? LOL. Mom…[/quote]

Who on earth would make fun of this? It’s okay to guide your kid through HS graduation but not thereafter? I asked my parents for advice my whole life. You’re obviously on this board to guide your adult or almost adult. [/quote]

Advice on life, yes, absolutely. Advice on how to handle college after kids got in? No. You need to let your kid run the race at some point. [/quote]

You're 100% wrong. There is nothing wrong with asking the opinions of those whom you trust. It could be just an opinion (based on your own thoughts) OR an opinion based on some research. Some kids ask opinions on an outfit (going to an interview - how does this look?), medical issues, the mundane (which flight do you think I should book), or anything relevant to their lives (school being a big one for students). This doesn't mean kids need to ask parents for advice on any or all of these topics, but it is certainly normal and shows a relationship built on trust. It also doesn't mean that the parent's advice is a replacement for advising, but just to have another sounding board. This is the reason there are countless Facebook pages for parents of rising college freshman at particular schools. Makes so much more sense to not reinvent the wheel and be able to canvas a large group who have more experience about a process that is new to you.[/quote]

Sure. Always tell you kids what to do, how to do, when to do... they will love you when they get older. truly suffocating parenting style[/quote]

Or, just post on threads that you have an answer to and save the parenting advice for your IRL friends that I’m sure are all ears. [/quote]
