@PilotKhyle I do a lot of legwork and push my son to really “think” about what he wants.
There are parents who expect to have the only and final say. It is what it is. Their family. Their rules.
Why do kids feel parents should not be that involved? I’ve graduated from 3 colleges. I’ve had a real job for 25 years. So maybe I know a think or two he doesn’t. In general, my S doesn’t agree with that, but in this case he does.
These people have raised and kept you safe till now. And yes, they know a lot you don’t know…Don’t try to cut them out. Find a middle ground. You’ll be happy for their help!
