That's a great letter, should be emailed to every mom with a daughter going thru recruitment. I think the emotions and stress of seeing your just moved away from home daughter going thru the rush process just gets the best of some moms and they get carried away. My daughter is very confident so I was a little surprised that she was so stressed and emotional when she rushed - was not expecting that from her at all!
Also, I agree with gee_ess, I appreciate the tone and the content of it much more than the helicopter mom mocking. I remember last year when my daughter (first born) was going thru recruitment (something I had never done) I had so many questions but I was afraid to ask anything for fear of being labeled a heli-mom when the reality was, the reason I was looking for answers was so I could be prepared when my daughter came to me with it.
