| My twins did their own applications, but coordinating the mailings, the taxes done on time the last day of January, the supplimentary financial aid forms, the FAFSAS, the Profiles, the music auditions and visits to multiple LAC was just a bit over the top. I coached my ex through his part in the process, his forms while keeping up with Ds busy with Ecs and part time jobs. Yes, I took some extra days off last winter, though I work less than full time. There are multiple steps in the process where a sounding board is needed, esp for two. Quit my job? No way, but it was an insanely intense time, with that on top of other obligations. Working full time would have put me over the edge for a few months in there. |
