Did you call roommates parents beforehand?

Hless, while I would have waited to do what you did once I met the roommate/parents on the actual day, it would probably be due to shyness on my part. What a lovely gesture.
To all those who say its time to let our kids live their own lives - these kids are no longer 13-15. They should all have gone past the" eye rolling embarassed of their parents stages of their lives". Its time for them to start living as adults, which includes good manners (whose lack we excused when they were teenagers) and random acts of kindness. The OP showed by action the way to do it. Hopefully when her D is a mom, she will remember the lesson.
