[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, a specific college - we've started summer vacation planning, and she's asked if we can include a visit in our plans. Our location is always flexible, and she knows it, so [b]"that's not nearby" isn't an excuse[/b], because we can make it nearby. I think it's silly to visit colleges at her age, though. Any advice on how to say no without her moping all next summer when we don't cave and do it?[/quote] You are the parent you don't need an excuse. Maybe she'll be moping around, it's not the end of the world, she'll get over it. And why would you cave because your kid is moping around? I dont mean to sound rude, but you are making yourself sound like a pushover as a parent.[/quote] Because we don't believe in dragging kids around somewhere they hate. That's not pleasant for US.[/quote]
