[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds somewhat similar to a friend’s dd. She was overwhelmed with end of semester deadlines ( and had procrastinated on much). However, my friend had family nearby so [b]went and spent a few days just basically going thru all class deadlines, helping organize, and knocking down deadlines one by one. [/b] My dh and I discussed how are parents would have never done that, with one child we never needed to, but our youngest gets a bit of this. However, they are studying abroad so we can’t just “ go” but we support over the phone. My attitude has softened. Yes, if they are truly messing up they should pay the consequences. But, if they have anxiety, the overwhelmed type, then maybe just offer to go, be the structure - just don’t do the work! Wishing your ds well.[/quote] There's visiting briefly to provide emotional support . . . and then there's this. I can't believe you told this story with a positive spin. [/quote]
