[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- people ask all sorts of nosy/inappropriate questions. Just teach your son to deflect back with a question such as " oh where did you and your DH go?" Or, just give a generic answer that he applied to a whole range of places or that he doesn't want to jinx anything.[/quote] You are another example of someone missing the point. OP never said the kids can't handle it. OP didn't say they don't have a good response to these nosy questions. It's a PSA to the parents who have no clue that this is no longer appropriate and does not qualify as polite conversation. It's understandable that someone who hasn't been through this lately might not know the stress and craziness that college admissions has become (even for sane, typically low key families).[/quote]
