[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's maddening, but consider that for most of these 17 and 18 year olds, it's their first time packing up so much of their stuff for an important move. Anxiety and avoidance are very real. So carrot and stick, OP. Threaten them with whatever leverage you have, to force them to start now. And promise to help them with their lists if they do start now. I do not know a single family who did not help their child pack and move the first time they went to college. We all do that. There is always a degree of panic. Then subsequent semesters or years get better. [/quote] My DD did it all herself, but went to Fed Ex w her to ship,[/quote]
