[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine abandoning my 14 year old at a far away school.[/quote] What if they really want to go — and they’re abandoning you? [/quote] 14 yr olds want a lot of things. It's okay to say no to them. When I was 14 I wanted a nose ring. [/quote] "No, please don't give me a wonderful education and great experiences with friends. Please keep me home and hope for the best because you aren't ready as a parent even if I'm mature enough to want to go." OP, you will be just as nervous in 4 years when they leave for college. Letting them grow up IS nervewracking. If he changes his mind and is too homesick, there are ways to handle it then. [/quote] “Mature enough to want to go” means nothing. [/quote] +1[/quote]
