[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of three college kids here. Our oldest graduated from college last year. I couldn't tell you if there even is a Facebook page for their dorms.  I vaguely know what classes they are taking.  I have no idea when their classes take place.  I have no idea what time they are in class.  I have no idea where they are or what they are doing during their free time.  I couldn't email their professors even if I wanted to because I don't know the specific courses they are taking.  I don't know the balance of their checking accounts.  I know there grades are good because they tell me they are.  They could be lying.

In other words, after they left for college, I allowed them to learn to function as adults.  I simply cannot fathom the way some parents continue to infanalize their adult children. [b] After they graduate, are you going to call the interviewer to help them get a job?  Are you going to call their boss when they are late for work[/b]?  [/quote]

Yes they will because they want to make sure they are getting a good  ROI apparently.[/quote]
