[quote=Anonymous]It's a totally fun family process -- we all loved the road trips and the mountain of mail and thrill of merit aid (even at schools you knew they wouldn't attend, darn it all). You're missing a great opportunity if you don't approach it as such. That said, I also thought being involved made me a more credible truth teller as I tried to keep our kids grounded in reality, not too stressed, not hung up on any one school, clear eyed about the odds and how the system is rigged, not so focused on the next four years that they were giving short shrift to the twilight years of childhood. It's gross what the college process has become. But in my mind that makes the parenting role more important than ever -- someone has to minimize the incoming insanity, and if not the parents, who?
