<p>Okay. I volunteer to be the first to confess:<br>
1) I'm obviously addicted to CC Forum
2) I'm having cold feet about my son's college decision which, by the way, I encouraged!
3) Hubby doesn't want to hear it....then again... he IS an engineer. You know how they are. They analyze a problem very precisely and then make a decision. Done deal.</p>
<p>Somebody out there tell me I'm not the only parent feeling this way. Please!</p>
<p>I don't have cold feet but my son does.</p>
<p>I work with engineers all day long. One at home would do my head in! :eek:</p>
<p>cheers: sometimes engineers at home come in handy.</p>
<p>Is your son wishing that he had selected one of the other schools where he was accepted or is he wishing he had applied to other schools?</p>
<p>It is ok for you to have cold feet about your son's decision.</p>
<p>It is not ok for you to tell him that you have cold feet.</p>
<p>One or both of DW and I have had cold feet about various decisions of DS, who is a rising college junior. But, honestly, those decisions have worked out well for him.</p>
<p>ADad: I would not tell my son that I have cold feet because then he would start questioning the decision, too. That would not be a good thing!</p>
<p>I'm glad to hear that your son's decisions turned out fine.</p>
<p>I think all you can do is wait and see. If you did your homework upfront, you should be OK. Remember College is going to be what ever your son makes it to be, if you encourage him to grow, just like you encouraged him to ride a bike, learn to swim, and all the other steps you've been there for he'll never know if it's a bad choice, because he'll be having a great time. </p>
<p>Remind him to use his ears more than his mouth and he'll make lots of friends.</p>
