[quote=Anonymous]OP – I haven’t read all of the replies to your post, but I recommend having a very simple conversation with the grandparents stating that because of the level of stress on your child, you’re no longer going to have conversations about college until the decision has been made. Let them know that you appreciate their concern and their suggestions but you’re no longer able to have conversations or share information about it. And then moving forward every time they ask about it say “we’re not able to share that information right now”. And just repeat that one sentence every time they ask – with absolutely no variations. Have your student practice that phrase too. Eventually, the grandparents will get sick of hearing that same response and will stop asking. But everybody in the family has to stick to that one response. Good luck![/quote]
