[quote=Anonymous]My only child is still in high school so I can’t speak to the current trends, but a few decades ago I was the freshman moving myself into the dorm without any help from parents. I had spent the prior year abroad as an exchange student in what was then considered a third world country. I was as independent, capable, resourceful, resilient, etc as a kid can be, and also so sad to be watching other families laugh, cry, and be together for a few last hours as they helped their kid move in. It isn’t about whether the kid is capable of doing it themselves, it’s about being their to support a loved one during a huge transition. About showing up for important moments. I have never forgotten that my family wasn’t their for me. [/quote]
