[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I set up my kid in under 2 hours. It went like a military operation. We already knew the dimensions of the room, closet etc. Everything got dusted, wiped, lysoled, vacuumed, put away and the beds were made. [/quote]

You could have dropped him off at the dorm, gone for a coffee, and met him for lunch after he set up his own dorm room. [/quote]

[b]Isn’t the whole point of this exercise to spend those last few hours with your kid before saying goodbye?[/b] Agree that the coddling/helicoptering of Gen Z is out of control but this is a bit much. Even my parents helped get this cold, unfeeling Gen X latch key kid settled in when they dropped me off at school. [/quote]

Except that it's Not. About. You.[/quote]

Sorry, friend. If you think wanting to spend a couple final hours with my kid on college drop off day is too selfish or self-indulgent, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. That time isnt taking away from their moment at all. But do enjoy the firm but warm handshake you get from your kid on drop off day. Boundaries seem important to you. [/quote]
