<p>Eh. I have a little different take having been like her as a kid, and pretty competent now. It sounds like she has gone away to camps and things and functioned. I assume she’s also gone to restaurants without you and managed to eat. </p>
<p>To me this sounds more like your anxiety about her “leaving the nest” and being successful. Even the parents of the most independent kids worry about that. My bet is that if she lives on campus, even if it’s at USC she’s going to develop more independence. I think megpmom gave you good advice. Sounds like your D really wants to please you, so just make sure that she knows that you’ll support her whatever she chooses and try to back off on offering advice.</p>
<p>IOW what Atomom said.</p>
