She has since passed away as well.
My mother always felt guilty she couldn't afford to pay for me to go to college (let alone join a sorority), but I assured her it wasn't her fault. I probably could have pursued financial aid for that as well, but didn't feel I had the time to devote to sorority life. I was overwhelmed after my father died with all I had to do for her -- teaching her to drive, write checks, etc. while attending a very difficult school.
I only tell you *that* story so you know why I tend to be too *active* in making sure my daughter has a great college experience. Even my husband has had to remind me to lay off on occasion, so I accept your wise suggestions as well. No harm was ever meant, I assure you. Thanks again to everyone!

Still confused.
