[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re the "lighten up, people" poster -- you know, OP's original question included a request for advice for parents, so "Lighten up" poster could have just said something like "I don't think kids are really into getting advice when you move them in; just be open to hearing from them when they need help."  That's kind of what s/he said at one point in trying to justify/defend the "lighten up" post.  That would have gone over fine without being obnoxious and cooler-than-thou.  I don't know, maybe "Lighten up's" mom should have offered some advice way back when "lighten up" went to college:  "You can disagree agreeably with people."    [/quote]

“Lighten up” poster here.  Whatever.   Just watch Freaks & Geeks.  It’s high quality stuff - even for empty nesters![/quote]

Back again?  Lighten Up should be renamed Get a Life.[/quote]

DP: That show is pretty funny too! Haven't thought about it in a while.  I thought the pillar thing amusing, but the whole "I'm summa cum laude, T20 and never went to a prof's office" snooty.  Hence the weird response . (That is, of course, If I'm remembering correctly that that's from same poster. Maybe I'm combining responses arbitrarily and that's why they seem weird together). Or maybe it's just that your daughter is funny and you aren't.[/quote]
