Hmm, I'd find it hard to confront Mom about this situation because she
might get mad at me for mentioning it. She's the kind of parent that
doesn't like to be proven wrong, especially by her own son on parenting.
The heck, she might yell at me.
I really hope Dorothy doesn't get frustrated so much that she'd go off
to college and never want to come home. A reason why I come home every
weekend is that I always find it hard to say good bye to my parents
(especially during orientation week; it was pretty much the first time
in my life that I would spend that long without them). I couldn't
imagine myself thinking, "I'm so glad I'm going to college so that
I wouldn't have to see my parents." It's way too early to say, but
I wouldn't be surprised if Dorothy thinks of that. Then somehow, like in
those typical shows or movies of kids wanting to run away or leave
forever, the kid regrets that action.
Off topic, but eh.
