[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fortunately I will never know as DC was responsible for packing and DC will be responsible for figuring out how to get anything they forgot![/quote]

i love how these people have to pop up on every thread to post something like this, or "land the helicopter"! You are just trying to make yourself feel better because you have a crappy relationship with your kid. The rest of us do not feel the least bit guilty that we do not.[/quote]

NP. Just because PP’s kid is more independent than yours doesn’t say *anything* about their relationship.

But you jumping to that conclusion says a lot about you.

So independent people never forget or need minor help?  Come on.  I’m extremely independent as a professional and parent and DH just I teed over a file I forgot at home. [/quote]

Ditto, my kids did their own packing, but I helped them think about what to buy and consider bringing since this is their first experience with college (obviously). They decided what they needed on their own and packed themselves. My DS forgot his sunglasses, bathing suit and floss and my DD forgot her make up mirror but also decided she wanted a different pair of sneakers for the 30,000 steps she was getting in walking to class.

I could have shipped all but yes [b](the horrors!) I drove down and met them for lunch and brought what they needed[/b]. We also went to the store and bought other things they decided they needed after having lived there for a bit.   I am 100% sure someone will criticize me for going down there but I do not care LOL. Other stuff they have decided they may need, they have bought on campus or ordered from Amazon. [/quote]

This made me lol. We did the same. We decided to just not tell people IRL b/c of the "horrors" of it. :)
