The last few weeks have been hectic. When my daughter didn't get the points she needed for her first choice of university she did a turn around and decided to do a different course entirely. I helped her sort out the sheep from the goats with the universities offering the course. There was 50. Worked out which weren't offering accomodation or were too low on the University list so it narrowed down to 14. Daughter picked out 2 (I didn't take part in that selection. We went to the open day of one. Too late for the other. I really liked the first one as it wouldn't have been a difficult one to travel to but unfortunately the other Uni had better course. I put forward my views why the first might be better and got shouted at for my troubles. She decided on the 2nd so today I made lot of phone calls and emails to check she would have accomodation and support, sat beside her till she filled in all the appropriate forms and posted them. Should I have left it all to her? Am I interfering? She has dyspraxia which means she finds it difficult to organise herself. I just wanted to make sure everything was in place so I could sleep easy at nights. I left home at 17 and a half and remember how homesick I got the first few months.

Sounds to me like you did a lot to help in a time period which is quite pressured anyway and if she needs that kind of support then you've been a parent to her, which she still needs.
She now has plenty of time to make her own mistakes and organise herself at Uni, but at least she has a secured place.
Well done you!

Ditto as zebra, it sounds to me like you've done a fab job of making sure things are sorted, I'm willing to bet the stress and worry are whats upset your daughter, hence her shouting at you! Once shes there and settled I'm sure she'll thank you (even if its just in her head....I don't recall ever thanking my mum as a teenager :hihi:)
