How do I get through to my mom?

<p>@ iPhoneHacker - I’ve been following your story. If you haven’t gotten your mom a mother’s day present, think about a picture of you and her together in a frame. You can probably find one on your home computer, printing is less then $1 at Target etc., and your parents may actually have photo paper sitting in your printer at home. A small frame is less than $10. Write her a note thanking her for her confidence in you. When you go to orientation, you might want to pick out a t-shirt from Pitt, a ‘Pitt Mom’ sticker, or a Pitt coffee mug, to bring her. She will appreciate the thought and it may help her start to identify herself with your new school.</p>

<p>The very best of luck to you!!</p>

<p>Something you might want to look in to…does Pitt have a Mom’s Weekend or Parent’s Weekend (or both?).</p>

<p>Pull up the information, print it out, and make a fancy invitation for your mom as part of her mother’s day present.It will let her know that you want to continue to include her in your college life.</p>

<p>Family Weekend. It is in October, I think.</p>

<p>and belive it or not, she should probably book a room now!</p>

<p>^ YES! I attempted to do this in mid-April (not Pitt), and wasn’t too successful. Luckily we are close enough to drive for a day.</p>
