Maybe this isn’t something I should be asking for advice on here for but I really need it!
My eldest son has a college open evening to attend this evening and is meeting two friends from school to attend with.
Do I let him go without me? I don’t want to get in the way but I would like to go.
We went to the college open evening last week where he is realistically going to attend, he’s in a stem school and it covers years 10,11 and 2 college years and he wants to study 4 things which are all available to do there and there is an option to do certificate in one and then the other 3.
He is looking at other colleges in the area to make sure he’s making the best choice and also to have the best second option but I do think he knows where he’s going already. He’s said that he’s 99% going to attend the college at his school and he is well on track to be accepted grade wise.
Anyway, sorry if this is rambly, I just thought it might give context.
Do I go anyway and meet with his two friends with him or do I let him go with his two friends and not go with them?!
Is it a usual thing for teenagers to look around college open evenings without a parent?
I’d feel so gutted not to go but if it’s a normal thing I don’t want to be overbearing just because it’s what I want.
