[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will admit that I had my parents call to advocate for me once in college. My roommate's boyfriend had damaged our room (punched a hole in the drywall) after I had moved out for the semester. My finals were done early so I had left and flown to Europe for a summer job. The school was trying to charge me for the damage. I refused to pay and told them what my roommate had told me. I went around and around with the housing office. I refused to pay damaged for a stupid roommate that was assigned to me in the housing lottery. Eventually my parents called once and said that we weren't paying. The school dropped the charge. I didn't consider that helicoptering. It was a strategic move. [/quote] This is different. It was technically their money. [/quote]
