<p>musicmom, that is so true. Throughout college, my kid has called me right away with audition outcomes and to share it all. In fact, I just hung up the phone after such a call! I think no matter what your kid may say to you (and who else are they gonna vent to), they really value your support and will want you to be the first to know how the auditions went.....long past getting into college (which is just the beginning). For those of us much past that point, it is never-ending.....many audition situations to come.</p>
<p>Haha I think my mom learned that too...before I left for college my mom used to complain how I was never going to call her. But whenever something new happens, she really is the first to know. We even started doing the online video chat thing, and that makes her feel better about her daughter being across the country :)</p>
<p>Granuaile - I could smother whoever invented Skype and video chat in kisses. YES!! it helps SO much to "SEE" each other across the miles</p>
