[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After over a year on our incoming sophomore’s college parent FB page, we realized early on the usefulness of such pages. While it was helpful to find recommended hotels, restaurants and the many local parents willing to help our kid in a pinch until we might have needed to get there, we found most posts are those of lawn mowing parents looking to get every obstacle out of the way of their pure sugar spun adults.

Now we look on with amusement of those who share every pulled fire alarm to the parent who is taking every possible measurement of the sample dorm room to build headboards and desk cubbies which will end in the dumpster at the end of freshman year based on what we saw at move out.

Parents were shocked I tell you no service came in to clean weekly or so their kids laundry. My kid is no angel and learned from her experience and is far from perfect, but reading some of these parents I feel for their kids first time away. [/quote]

One of my favorites was the parent asking if getting a Dyson Vacuum ($800+) was worth it for their snowflake!  As if any college student actually uses a vacuum.

Funny. Both of my boys requested vacuums after they moved into the dorms. They aren't neat-niks either. [/quote]
