As college acceptances — and rejections — start rolling in, the tension in homes with college-bound kids is palpable.
For those of us parents who currently have kids waiting to hear about college acceptances, every day feels like playing the old-school dice game,Why? Because parenting has always been a constant worry about when the next stage will happen. When will they sleep through the night? When will they crawl, or give up that darn pacifier?
Waiting for the milestones to occur is like rolling the Yahtzee dice over and over in search of the best outcome. It’s as if infancy to toddlerhood to the teen years are all jostling about in that small blue cup. As a parent, you shake, blow on it for good luck , and hope for the best possible results.
And so it goes, until there’s one last spot to fill on the game card, and it’s the hardest to get but also the 50-point game-changer. It requires the money roll: Yahtzee! As college admissions — and rejections — start rolling in, the tension in homes where kids are waiting to hear is palpable. And mostly, we parents are to blame. We stalk college message boards. Our cocktail party chatter is all about whose kid applied where. We nag them to check their online college “portals” for news, since the days of checking the mailbox for that telltale big envelope are long past.
So many college brochures over the past year and now it's a waiting game. Can they just say "yes" already?
