I’m chortling at the suggestion in the Washington Post blog that grandparents be the ones to accompany kids on college visits. Let’s see, I’m 60, eldest child is 26 and not even engaged yet. Even if he hustles, his firstborn won’t be college shopping for at least 17 years. I don’t know what’s more unlikely, that I would want to spend any part of my late seventies shlepping to colleges, or that my hypothetical grandkid would want to drag me along at that age. I think I’ll just confine myself to the traditional route of offering unwelcome advice and making impractical suggestions!
