The sister who is the most frustrated is her almost big sister who at 18 told her parents I'm going into the military...deal with it. Definitely night and day in terms of personality types. I've taken the opportunity to tell her that the NM has to work this out with her parents on her own. There isn't anything we can say that will make the light bulb turn on. There is a family/friends event in about 2 weeks created to introduce parents to each other and allow a Q&A time for advisors and parents. Luckily, I'm well practiced! Although I could definitely use a little backup (calling AlphaXiGirl!)
Ultimately though, the NM and mom have to compromise at the very miniumum. There's nothing any of us can do but let them work it out. It's a sad scenario though.....in college, but not IN college, y'know?
