Who should do the college drop off?

Since you need to fly and are the “teary one” just stay home. Easier to cry in a car than on a plane.
And honestly you aren’t missing anything. Skype/facetime works well to show off rooms. Better after settling in.

The “drive-by drop off” is the norm actually. Your kid has a lot to take in about their new surroundings and (sorry!) it ain’t you that’s the focus…
Neither of my kids wanted me around to “fuss” over stuff–but I did anyway. Husband told kids, “This is for your mom, not you!. Humor her, you can rearrange it all later.” Should’ve left it for them–but certainly not worth a plane ride.

I did think my son thought it was great to have his bed made for the first and most likely last time for the year.
