<p>For this thread to be fake, someone has to have a really good imagination and lots of time on their hands to make this up. I don’t even know what to think anymore, whether it’s true or not. And like ^ post mentioned, who knows, maybe the OP is reading this without logging in. I don’t know, you’d have to be really creative and really bored to make this up. It very well could be that, but it’s also a good chance that it’s a true thread and the OP didn’t want to let people know this, so she chose to ask online where people don’t actually know who you are. We do know that it could be true because this does actually happen for real between students and profs, so I really don’t know what to think at this point, until/if the OP comes back.</p>
<p>Something about the last page of this thread tells me a lot of CC parents are probably amateur conspiracy theorists.</p>
<p>Maybe either her daughter or her husband found out she had posted here and asked her to refrain from further posting. That’s what I could imagine happening in my family and I’d probably respect the request.</p>
<p>All very good thoughts. I love the “make up our own ending” idea!! </p>
<p>Agree that many posters have given kind, thoughtful, well reasoned suggestions, so the lack of closure or an update leaves people hanging. Not that the OP owes the reader anything, but it would be nice.</p>
<p>Maybe a classmate or the professor or an administrator read this thread. And maybe classmates, professors or administrators from several institutions thought this was about them. If so, and if this thread caused many faculty, staff, etc to sit up and fly right, then it has certainly served its purpose.</p>
<p>In my ending, the daughter came to the end of the semester and all of her friends were donig end of the semester fun things and she was stuck with this old guy doing boring grown up things, and she looked around and she went, “Really? Seriously? No way.”</p>
<p>she broke up with him, came home, and lived happily ever after, dating boys her own age. ;)</p>
<p>Post #443 is also a likely conclusion to what happened and why we’re not getting a response/ending from the OP.</p>
<p>Based on info on this thread and if anyone has received any PMs from the OP, does anyone have a guess at what college the OP’s daughter was supposedly at?</p>
<p>“does anyone have a guess at what college the OP’s daughter was supposedly at?” - No. But even if I did… it would seem best to honor family privacy.</p>

<p>I have to ask…What is sitting shiva?</p>
<p>“In my ending, the daughter came to the end of the semester and all of her friends were donig end of the semester fun things and she was stuck with this old guy doing boring grown up things, and she looked around and she went, “Really? Seriously? No way.””</p>
<p>Ah - let’s have an ending with a baby, a baby girl. After 18 years of struggling, sacrifice and heart ache, she pleads with her daughter to not make the same mistakes she made.</p>
<p>From wiki…because their explanation will be better than mine…</p>
<p>In Judaism, shiva is the week-long period of grief and mourning for the seven first-degree relatives: father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, and spouse. As most regular activity is interrupted, the process of following the shiva ritual is referred to as “sitting” shiva. Shiva is a part of the customs for bereavement in Judaism.</p>
<p>
I’m cynical so I think you could be right - this is not easy to manufacture. Not that this scenario doesn’t happen.
I wonder why these TOS violations are allowed to continue (if this is one) - it seems to happen often.</p>
<p>Report it after she is done taking his class.</p>
<p>Another possible ending: The D married the Prof and they had a girl. 18 years later, the girl met and fell for her English Prof. The Dad(now retired from teaching) was furious and told his daughter a story:" 19 years ago, I meet a beautiful student in my English class…"
The moral of the story: We are living in a beautify circle of life.</p>
<p>Oh, I like that one kxc! </p>
<p>Thanks for explaining shiva, blueiguana.</p>
<p>kxc1961- I like your made-up ending to the story!</p>
<p>How about this Hollywood ending?: The OP’s daughter gets notified by email that a relative has died in Nigeria and has left her $7 million. And while that check is in the mail, she plans a Caribbean elopement with a dashing newly single congressman from NYC whom she met online. Ah, life can be so good…</p>
<p>Thank you guys for your kind comments…I felt the love of the village already.:)…</p>
<p>Seriously, as a parent, I sincerely hope that OP’s D wake up from her fantasy and live in the real life, with her feet firmly planted on the ground. As was said so many times before, “It takes a village to raise a kid.” I hope that our collective advice had helped the OP on her struggle in raising her kid. Then our effort is well worth it. </p>
<p>May God bless OP and her family!</p>
<p>On the subject of age disparity, what would Tricky Dick say about his grandson?<a href=“Andrea Catsimatidis and Christopher Cox: Weddings - The New York Times”>Andrea Catsimatidis and Christopher Cox: Weddings - The New York Times;
<p>Very interesting story Vitrac. There are two sides for every coin.</p>
<p>Hello!
I’ve been away on vacation for the past couple of weeks and also stayed away from it since my dd came back from school. I logged into the e-mail account that I used for this screen name and noticed that I had many private messages. I replied to all of them and then came on to the site to see the lastest comments. Yikes!
I want to reassure everyone that I am NOT fake/■■■■■. I created a new screen name because my other one had postings that showed what school she attends.
I hope to have an update by this weekend because I’ve been dealing with the school for the past two days. </p>
<p>I’m logging off now because my dd is on her way home in a few minutes. </p>
<p>Thank you again for the kind words in your private messages.</p>
