[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is graduating this year with a double degree and I think about 180 credits. I have always had a copy of her schedule so I know what she’s doing, but mostly a reminder of just how stressful her life is at that moment. I have never seen her grades though, and am very careful not to ask. But hey, my kid had a spreadsheet she made to navigate her degrees and knew before she left HS she was going to grad school. Our job was to reassure her that dropping a horrible class was actually a valid time tested method of improving success, taking an internship was both a job and a vacation, and that grades were beyond her control outside of actually showing up and doing the work.

So your daughter is graduating this year and you have no idea of what her gpa is?[/quote]

Why does mom need to know her GPA?[/quote]

It helps when helping her figure out her next steps. [/quote]

She's presumably 21 or so.  She's graduating with a double degree, and she knows her own GPA.  Why does mom need to know this to help her figure our her next steps?  This is helicoptering at it's finest.  PP's daughter is clearly doing quite well without PP hovering.[/quote]
