Night Elf Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 My dd is at college and makes the silliest mistakes at different things. She also procrastinates and then feels bad when she has to work extra to get an assignment in, although she's getting better at that. But this morning, takes the cake! She slept through her alarm and missed her advising appointment. They don't allow make-up appointments. She has to wait for the walk-in appointments for no shows. Those are only two days during registration, and only from 7:00am to 8:00am. At this college, you cannot register without being advised. I don't know when she's supposed to register if she can't get advised on one of those two days. I told her she should get there at 6:30am or even earlier and maybe she'll be one of the first ones at the doors. I'm so upset about this! I can't tell her how disappointed I am because she's kicking herself. I just can't believe this is happening. If they make her wait until late registration in the summer she's going to have a terrible schedule for Fall. Boy she really dropped the ball on this one.

Scarlett Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I feel your pain. My ds17 is failing his Lit course and just can't seem to get it together! And he is beating himself up terribly about it. I try to help him get organized but there is only so much I can do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I had a coworker with several very successful adult children and I was commenting about how proud of them he must be. He said something unexpected. "The thing with teenagers is that you have to let them make and own their own mistakes." Then he looked at me with genuine pain in his eyes. Truth. It's part of the process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ack! Fingers crossed she gets in. Does she have inattentive-type ADHD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ack! Fingers crossed she gets in. Does she have inattentive-type ADHD? I wonder that myself. I have ADD so I see a lot of the same in her. She has a psychiatrist and a counselor who know as much about her as I do as far as her mental health and neither of them have said anything. She has one psychiatrist for when she's home and one at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
