Who should do the college drop off?

We made it a family affair when the oldest went to college. Both parents and younger sibling flew (with daughter’s stufff in their checked and carry-on luggage!) to her campus and helped her move in. Younger sibling had a blast listening to the strong Massachusetts accents of some of the parents helping their kids move in as well. Then we hugged her, said goodbye, and went on a 4 day trip around the area. We saw her one more time, before flying home, when she was more settled into her suite. Her excitement about her new life made us happy - so no tears.

To this day we remember it as a fun (and extra meaningful) family vacation. Glad we did it.

But we skipped all Parents Day weekend stuff. Dropping her off was enough.
