<p>What you can do is make a pledge to yourself not to talk about school every day- just tell your D, dearest, sweetie, I know talking about college is making you and me bonkers, so I will try and refrain from discussing the plans etc, and will follow your lead. Remember, there are certain things to be bought, we need to figure how to get your stuff there, and deadlines you need to meet for housing, classes, etc. So can we make a pact? Each Sunday evening, lets spend some time- sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 1/'2hour talking about this college logistics stuff- dates, what we need to buy, checks you need, etc....</p>
<p>I think setting up some parameters where D feels she won't be annoyed about college everyday, it may make her more "into it"</p>
<p>For me, my D hasn't been around enough to be crabby, however, I am still annoying....</p>
