[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Helicopter parent alert. [/quote]

Are you kidding? This is the total opposite of a helicopter. I am a helicopter. My kids would not for one second be without a full stock of vitamins and meds, housing secured for the following year, and the fear of god in them for not getting strong grades.

I applaud OP because I think she is doing many things that will foster independence in her children. I can certainly learn from her.[/quote]

A full stock of vitamins for a college student? What does that even mean?[/quote]

This is confusing for you? A big bottle of multivitamins, and another zinc. I may include refills in care packages. Stocked also means medicines for common ailments like benadryl, advil, Pepto-Bismol, NyQuil, Tums, etc.... Did that help?[/quote]

Yes, thank you for clarifying! Overkill, as I suspected. [/quote]

I would love to see the face of PP's kid when he gets these "care packages" full of zinc and Pepto Bismol. And when PP comes inevitably to help the kid move out, I suspect she will find it all shoved in the bottom of a drawer. If it wasn't thrown into the trash.[/quote]
