Are you one of these parents?

Hmmm....I think you will have to decide for yourself. I certainly don't believe any of our parents would resort to death threats, but I do know some parents want to talk about college all the time, and that drives your daughters crazy.  If you'll read through the piece, you'll find some great advice, including two things we've told you before. "We" are not going to college; your daughter is. And two, make sure you have days where you don't mention college at all!  In fact, pick a specific day and time of the week to talk about it. Let's say, Sunday afternoon at 4:00.  Sit down for an hour, discuss her applications, essays, whatever is on your mind, and then let it go until the next Sunday.  It may make you nervous, but ultimately you'll both feel better about it.
