When I was an undergrad I was really frustrated that my parents weren't more involved in giving me advice on things like school, etc., but now I realize I'm glad they didn't. It wasn't necessarily because they wanted me to learn to make decisions and figure things out on my own, it was just that they didn't know how to help me (my mom never went to college and it'd been years since my stepdad did, so I was more familiar with the workings of the school than they were), but at the time I interpreted it as that they didn't care. But like I said, now I'm glad they let me sort of fumble around until I found the right answer, and I'm really glad they weren't the sort of parents that had their nose into every area of my life. How much would that suck?
