<p>I don't see a reason for them to come.. is this normal?</p>
<p>I mean, I always saw it as parents moving you in for the first days of the first year, but that was it.</p>
<p>Only moving in and moving out for me. My family comes and help me out.</p>
<p>Uh.. my dad will be driving me 300 miles to my college, I don't see why they shouldn't.. unless you fly all the time? </p>
<p>Either way there's no rule saying they shouldn't come.. you will probably always need help moving, especially if you live in dorms etc.. unless you are like completely independent of your parents.</p>
<p>my parents didint come with me on the first day. hell my mom sent me by myself for the first day of kindergarten also.</p>
<p>I sorta am.. The main thing is that </p>
<p>1) I am flying in
2) My dad wont be coming, just my mom and grandmother (who wont be able to help with any moving)
3) All my stuff is being delivered to my room...</p>
<p>There is nothing i really need but they just want some control i guess (They want to arrange my room and all that). Again, I really don't need help since all my stuff will be all over the place before the end of the day anyway.</p>
<p>I'm driving in the morning with as much stuff I can fit in my SUV and moving that stuff in. My family is coming up that evening with the rest of the stuff and to help with anything that I may need. I'm all for the extra help.</p>
<p>My mom is a hover parent to the max sometimes, so she helped me move in, put up my curtains, made up my bed, etc. (note: I didn't ASK her to do any of that, she just does it). She helped me move out but that was because I moved straight out of my dorm into my apartment for the summer, so I had to move all my shiz right over here, in addition to bring stuff from home. If I had just been coming home, I would've just done it myself. I packed and cleaned everything, I just had to have help transporting it all as my car wouldn't hold all of it along with the stuff from home.</p>
<p>They are coming because I can't store stuff at school and I don't have my own car. They play no role in the room set up. If I could do it alone, I would. It's easier.</p>
<p>My mom is flying up at the end of the summer to rent a car to transfer stuff from my summer sublet (which was also my summer storage unit :P) to my dorm. This will probably be a yearly thing since I do not have a car and don't plan on it.</p>
<p>I hate it when my parents intervene in my life too much. I give my dad strong hints that I don't appreciate it. (If I actually said something he would get defense and angry.)</p>
<p>As I get older I realize that if my parents want to be around, then let them. I am not going to see them for 6 monthes at the least, and besides a free good meal or two can't be that bad. Otherwise, my friends tend to like my parents because they are so easy going.</p>
<p>no matter what I say, my parents always insist on packing and unpacking my stuff (and organizing my room...). unfortunately I'm the type of person who forgets stuff after 5 seconds unless I do it myself... so I end up forgetting where everything is (like, you know, my umbrella... my band-aids... my favorite pen........ :()</p>
<p>My parents are coming. They'll help me unpack, and we'll go out to eat, which will be nice before the next few months of cafeteria food! Also, I packed really quickly when I was leaving, so my storage unit is full of some of the stuff I didn't use last year. I'll be sending it home, leaving more room in my dorm for me!</p>
