[quote=Anonymous]OP checking in... I've turned it over DH which has eased DS's anxiety, I think. I told DH what to do, and he just does it and doesn't take any crap from DS. Last night DH came home from work and immdiately ordered DS to sit down and work on his applications. He made DS email him every essay he wrote, so DS couldn't pretend he was working on his applications while he was doing something else on his computer. I kept out of it all, which was very hard for me!

Tomorrow, I was supposed to take DS to an interview, but I told DH to cancel it. It kills me to do this because DS could get more merit money if he showed up for an interview. I feel so conflicted about this decision. On the one hand, an interview could help DS, but on the other hand, it takes a lot of time out of my day, and the last time I took DS for an interview, he acted uninterested and indifferent!

With 10 days to go, we'll see if this works. It's hard for DH who is going through a lot of work stress. But it would be worse for all of us if DS didn't get enough money to go to college.

When I went to college, I applied to three schools, wrote three essays, got three acceptances. Done. DS is applying to 10 colleges, with extra essays and questions for several of them, and separate applications for some scholarships. It IS a lot of work. Sigh.
