[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is kind of ridiculous. So a college kid is struggling with a class. That has been going on for decades. This is not special. They can drop the class, get a tutor, fail it, ask to do extra credit, whatever. This shouldn't require a long talk with Mommy and Daddy. [/quote]

Even if they know their options, they still might have feelings about it and it's totally appropriate and good for children -- even adult children -- to talk about their feelings and worries with their parents.

What do your children tell you? I bet nothing.[/quote]

This is what college advisors and roommates and friends are for. [/quote]

What if this happens to be a college freshman, who came to campus knowing nobody, and is still finding their friends group?  What if their roommate is the roommate from hell?  
You do you and tell your kids to "grow up and not talk to you because they are adults"

The rest of us will listen to and support our kids, and provide feedback if they wish---otherwise we will be a sounding board for them.  I'm still a sounding board for my 25 yo---it's called being a good parent and being supportive.  [/quote]
