Last year Erin sent a kid to college, and this year Ellen is sending one. True to our dog and cat personalities, we handled the experience of launching a chick from the nest very differently. Check out our latest podcast to hear us talk about our different responses to this big change in our families. Bottom line: there doesn’t need to be one right way to deal with sending your kid to college.
Here are some of the posts we reference in the podcast that we either wrote in the midst of the college process or right after:
