<p>In direct reply to the title of this thread my initial thoughts are:</p>
<p>This is b/c they love us so much, right!</p>
<p>Ah…not really.</p>
<p>What an awful prospect for parents and students alike-- but clearly the students get the worst end of the deal. What a disappointment to be unable to go forward and begin their adult life, being financial independent and enjoying life after four+ years of hard work. So sad for these young adults indeed.</p>
<p>Parents- it’s probably not that bad-- we get free help with the lawn, snow removal and household projects (for which some of us might be too old) such as climbing ladders and cleaning the gutters and replacing roof shingles.</p>
<p>Enough sarcasm-- this is very sad for everyone all around.</p>
