[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't believe how many of you have not taught kids that their decisions have consequences. And that they will have to live with those consequences (be it an HIV infection, drunk driving crash, etc). In a matter of months they will be on their own.

You are DEFINITELY  not serving them well.

I know you mean well, but this is not a good way to parent. [/quote]
Eh. I understand your point however my kids ended writing 30 PAGES worth of essays and short answers between the applications and honors college applications. I would also need to bargain with myself to get that accomplished. It doesn’t mean I suck or am generally irresponsible.

I hope if you’re making these comments [b]you have recently done the college process with your kids[/b]. If you're the parent of littles or commenting based on the process years ago, you really can’t understand. [/quote]

DP. One of my kids applied last year and one applied four years ago. I don't think of doing it "with" my kids because it was their work. I handed over my credit card. I offered to hire a college counselor, but they both passed. And they got into places they were excited to attend and where they are currently happy.

You get to make a particular point with your kid once, and then you need to shut up, or possibly rant to your friends/spouse about how this is making you nuts. But LAND THE CHOPPER.[/quote]
