[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't get the geographic limitation; re finances, I agree with 8:41 just above and the PP above that.

I have the opposite view--now is your chance to explore the US, get out of your childhood bubble.  My kid is a first-year college kid and 2,000 miles away, and she thought about coming home for the summer, but I told her (our town) is a bit of a dead end for her--to stay in (college city) or go somewhere else.  She now has landed a paid job in her college city for the summer.

As a parent, I miss her and had to put my own feelings of wanting her near aside because I want her to stretch her wings.  And I was super-scared that (because of her personality) she would not fledge well.  But she stepped up, and I'm glad I didn't make her stay close.

Of course every situation is different. My friend limited her son's college choices to driving distance. A few years prior, they had adopted a boy and he was still little, and they wanted the two sons to bond.[/quote]

Did they bond?   Or did the college age son harbor any resentment?[/quote]
