[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder when parents like OP will understand that they are sending the message that their kids are incompetent and need mommy to “do more” for them and take charge. It is a main reason (along with social media) for the rise in teen and youth anxiety and mental health issues.

This should be shouted from the rooftops. Parents come in and save their kids from the slightest repercussion of their actions at every turn. [/quote]

That doesn't apply to a huge decision like this one. I always wonder who people making these sorts of comments are.[/quote]

Yes, it absolutely applies to the college process. I am the one who made the original comment about OP sending a message of incompetence to her kid. You wonder who I am?  I am a parent of three - one college grad, one college junior and one 12th grader. I am also someone who navigated the (albeit much simpler) college (and later, law school) admissions processes by myself.[/quote]

That is smugness from having kids who matured a little earlier, nothing else.[/quote]

DP: if your kid isn't ready to manage at least 75-80%+ of the process themselves, they likely are not ready for a 4 year college.  And CC with a plan to transfer might be the best use of your money.  Or whatever 4 year they manage to get into.

The issue here is what you consider the process to be. It varies.[/quote]
