[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d let your kids handle it, helping them if needed. Learning how to deal graciously with annoying or impolite people is a skill. And you sound far too invested in what your parents think.[/quote] If you feel your DD is capable of doing this, it is a good suggestion. A lot of grandparents will go along with what their grandkids want, more so than their kids. She could gently tell them that the college application is stressful, she has a clear idea of what she wants and she would appreciate it if they don't make any inquiries to put stress on her until she has decided upon a school. But it sounds like this is more of an issue for you than for her, and if so, there's no way around dealing with it yourself. [/quote]
