<p>The Post oats (look like cheerios but much better) will cause less deprivation. I eat them all the time while driving to & from work.
Fortunately, your D does have an acceptance. I've heard nice remarks abt Humbolt. She "ought to" be appreciative of all the time & effort you put in to help her select schools, go East to visit so many of them, etc. Her friends are probably envious of all the support she's received, but D would probably take it all for granted. Just wait until her friends are scrambling at the last minute, then she'll be grateful for the kindly pushes.
My S did not push the magical "send" button until 12/31--That's a guaranteed way to turn a parent's hair gray!</p>
