<p>You are excited about two new cable channels!!! Woohoo</p>
<p>fine just look and don’t admit to getting excited when the new phone book comes</p>
<p>What??? There’s life outside of CC???</p>
<p>or when you are are a parent and an adult and you have over 2,000 posts on a website intended for high school and college students…</p>
<p>I don’t have cable but I sometimes look forward to school district meetings to keep in touch with other community members and get a hug from one gentleman, even though I have heard him call my daughters longtime soccer coach who I love a demon spawn from hell :eek:
( he was a school board member at the time.)</p>
<p>You know you need to get out more (or go to bed) when you are a student and you are posting on the parent’s forum in the middle of the night!!!</p>
<p>norskvkng:
Hmmm…I wonder why it would be called the Parents Forum if it is “a website intended for high school and college students…”</p>
<p>Look forward to local going out of business sales.Okay, I admit to being a going out- of- business sale junkie.</p>
<p>When you find yourself reading a “you know you need to get out more” thread and then find yourself actually posting an answer.</p>
<p>weenie and all: there is a current thread over on the kid’s side of this site entitled “die parents die” or something like that. An anti-parent campaign is afoot with some over there, apparently. Poor things. ;-)</p>
<p>When your ten year old has a better social life than you do!</p>
<p>Well for your information I sprained my ankle the other day playing basketball and have to stay off my feet for at least a week. And what time I go to bed is none of your business, especially in the summer, since I can sleep till noon. I wasnt trying to be mean I just think that most of the parents on this forum are too overbearing and controlling; I would be disgusted if my parents spent all their time on a college discussion forum. When it comes down to it, getting into college and deciding on what college to go to is the student’s decision, with finance being the adult’s sole worry.</p>
<p>I think we should start a thread entitlted * remember when you were young and knew everything?* 
Those were the days eh?</p>
<p>lol the “die parents die” thread is quite interesting. do pop in!</p>
<p>They certainly are!</p>
<p>norshvkng07 </p>
<p>wow, no bittereness there at all huh</p>
<p>this is a lighthearted thread, one of those things that we adults sometimes need</p>
<p>and yes you are trying to be mean, man, hope your parents realize they are just giant pocketbooks and wallets and their feelings etc are irrelevant cause, gee you don’t them for anything
else</p>
<p>Why should my parents’ decide where I go to college when I am the one that worked hard for 12 years so that I could decide where I want to go. You make it seem that the only way that I interact with my parents is throught the college app process, and there lies your problem. You seem to think that when I think of my parents, I think of them as “pocketbooks” which is absolutely ridiculous. I have a great relationship with my parents, especially because they arent overbearing about my grades and college, which is the problem with a lot of parents on this forum. When I talk to my parents, we dont discuss college and finance we discuss what really matters.</p>
<p>…“so that I could decide where I want to go.”</p>
<p>Too bad it doesn’t always work that way. There are some small issues of trying to find appropriate programs and schools, gain admissions, receive scholarships and finally pay for the costs of attendence. Some kids appreciate some help with these issues. Others already know everything.</p>
<p>…when your kid’s college visits are the highlight of your summer (and I’m taking most of my vacation to do this…)</p>
<p>SpringfieldMom, college visits ought to be fun! they cost a lot, especially if you do a lot of colleges, and they take time and effort. they should be fun…my mom said she loved visiting colleges and i have to admit, tours are fun. it beats disneyland for a vacation…nothing quite like a college campus :)</p>
