<p>kelsmom, your daughter sounds a bit like mine. i think they're both unloading a lot of their anxiety on us, which I suppose we should take as a compliment. I like your letter idea. A good way to say what you want without a conversation, which could be rebuffed. </p>
<p>My daughter seems to be having the same buyer's remorse, though she never was really in love with her choice. (I don't think she would have been in love with anything except the one early decision school that (quite expectedly) rejected her.) Last night she told me all the things she doesn't like about the school she's going too: Too many spoiled rich kids, too much drinking.... I am worried she is starting out on a negative note and will miss all of the positives. Uggh. A part of me wants this summer to go quickly, but another part is dreading the day that she leaves....</p>
