[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're adults. You helicopter parents need to back off. It's not your life.[/quote]

Wrong. My 17 was NOT an adult. Not legally. But more importantly, not maturity wise.  And again, if they are adults, why am *I* paying? Real adults pay for themselves.[/quote]

You chose to pay. You can tell your kid that you aren't paying.  You just won't, because you like the control.

Real adults accept the results of their own choices. [/quote]I told my 17-year old DD that I would not pay if elected a [b]co-ed dorm roommate[/b].  That is the only ground rule I imposed.  Fortunately, DD said ewwwwww so we are in agreement.  DD also said she did not want a co-ed bathroom and would like to brush her teeth in her underwear if she wanted so I know where her head is at.

I will mention if she wants to change her major, give a shout out and we can discuss if she'd like.  No way am I going to browbeat her as she is already firm about minoring in computer science.  I don't care what she majors in since she's got a solid backup.[/quote]Let me make *bolded* clearer.  I will not pay if DD chooses a male roommate in a two-person or three-person, etc, room.    As I said, the response was ewwwwww![/quote]
