Did you call roommates parents beforehand?

Although I understand why many think this was a nice gesture, I would never have done it, for any of my Ds. All of them, I think, would have been unhappy with me had I taken it upon myself to be in touch with roommates’ parents prior to move-in day. I think the gesture could have been made, in person, when the kids were moving in, and it would not have put your D into an awkward position right off the bat with her roommate.
