Still struggling with the idea that my oldest child is away at college. Even though he went away actually two years ago, while still in high school to a math/science intensive program, it's still like the first time. Even harder...this normally self-sufficient kid (does his own laundry, won't let us buy him supplies when we're visiting) call last week really stressed out and questioning his choice of major. ALREADY. I really didn't expect it. I think I handled it okay and the way he wanted, mostly just helping him feel like he was making the right choices, we are proud of him and all the hard work he's already put in, etc. Ever since been really enjoying the nightly fb chats between him and my husband as they work through calculus problems together.
Now, what to get him for his 18th birthday at the end of the month. He will literally not ask for anything. On one hand that is great but on the other makes things tough. Any ideas what the latest tech geek items are? On a budget of course :-). Anyone else having a tough time with back to school?
