Nobody thought hitchhiking was fine 30 years ago.

😀 I love people’s concept of 30 years ago like it was ancient history. I went to college 30 years ago and my parents came for accepted students day as did all the other parents. There was information relevant for parents and they also were interested enough to want to know more about where I was going. It wasn’t helicoptering; it was normal parental interest. Some of you may not feel the same way but it doesn’t mean that kids who go with a parent are incapable or less independent/ competent than yours. Good grief. If you don’t want to go don’t go. If you want to go, go. [/quote]

My parents also accompanied me 30 years ago - as did everyone else's.  I imagine the poster who insists this is just *so bizarre!* has a child who desperately doesn't want her and her negative energy to accompany him, so he's pretending it's not for families.  He'll probably be more welcome with the parents of strangers he'll meet on that day.  I feel bad for him.[/quote]
