[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to buy when we got to college (a plane ride away) and then washed at the college during move in day - which DS thought was humiliating, but nobody noticed and the laundry room was me and 2 other moms doing the same thing.  Anyway - that turned out to be a good idea because I could show DS how to use the laundry they had there. That, despite what other kids insisted, throwing a weeks worth of everything in the biggest machine and then into the biggest dryer was fine!  And then use that same big machine for comforter if it dirty[/quote]
do not recommend mom hanging around on move in day (and we're also a plane ride away for 2 kids). mom should definitely not be in the laundry room.[/quote]

Not sure what you mean by hanging around. We were in at around 10am and then at the parents event at 1 and then left with everyone else. Laundry takes 45 minutes.  Some of us had to buy sheets when we go there. [/quote]
drop off stuff. picture if he's willing. leave. [/quote]

NP you know colleges handle this different, right?  Yale was a two-day affair![/quote]
you hang out in the kid's room for 2 days?! wow, Yale, you've changed[/quote]

nope, nobody is hanging out in their kids rooms for 2 days. there's programming on campus. even my kid's college - not yale - had some great parenting presentations. We were there for two days - not in and out in 30 minutes. I know some are. Lehigh is notorious for not wanting parents out of the car. I dont think that's *better* to be honest. [/quote]
but hanging out in the dorm laundry room doing the kid's laundry? 👌[/quote]

nobody is *hanging out* in the laundry room or in the kids dorm room for two days. They're taking their target-bought sheets and towels and mattress pads and tossing them into the machine. Then unpacking clothes, chatting with suite mates parents, moving to dryer, unboxing desk lamp and plugging in surge protectors. Then making up the bed and off to find coffee and going to the parent presentation.

I get it, though. In your case, you said you were lucky if your kid would even take a picture w you. That's a different method, I guess. [/quote]
