[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So at what age should an institution of higher education cut the cord for the parents who are too clingy to do it themselves or who were too lax in preparing their child for adulthood?[/quote]

You don’t think the college should tell parents your 18 yo freshman was popped for drugs or drinking or found passed out in a hallway? What about passed out 3 times? What about rapes? You prefer they control everything—because when they control KIDS they have a track record of doing what’s best for the U, not your kid. [/quote]

If your 18+ yo is a “KID” and you consider there to be a significant possibility of someone finding them passed out in a hallway from substance abuse then maybe you should keep them home and raise them better. Nobody is forcing you to send your adult child away if you acknowledge that you haven’t done a decent job of raising them and they aren’t ready for that.

And if you think they wouldn’t let you know if they were assaulted or gained a criminal record then that’s also on you. You should ask yourself why you raised them to distrust you.[/quote]
