<p>KFC,
That is the way of the older generation. They tend to worry and want to keep their children close. After putting all their efforts into raising and educating their children to be good citizens, our parents have a problem in “letting go” and trusting them to make the right choices. Isn’t that ironic? It is tough to get through to them since they have never been to college…yet they are making assumptions about your decisions. Many yrs ago, I had to go down that path and say to my father: “You don’t understand…you never went to college.” Luckily, my father took it well…and started to trust me more. I know that would not be the norm. We raise our own children very differently…to step outside of their comfort zone and to pursue their passion. My parents are a bit speechless…and, the same time, support their grandchildren and their decisions. Best of luck to you…</p>
