In my own experience, my parents (who had never been to college), left it up to me. I just assumed that my son would make those decisions for himself, and so far has done a fine job. I know that legally I do not have the right to get involved without his permission, and I have never asked.
Recently I have questioned if I am doing the right thing. A good friend said that she ALWAYS goes to her daughter's advisement appointments and then checks to make sure that she has registered as planned. She also has her daughter's class schedule and social schedule memorized. Furthermore, she insisted that her daughter provide her with the password so Mom can access her college records. Mom (my friend) says that as long as she is footing the bill, she will continue to do this. Then she insinutated that there was something wrong with me for NOT knowing all the details of my son's life.
She calls it responsible parenting. I call it micromanaging an adult. Your opinion, please. Which?
