It probably feels like you just celebrated your kid’s high school graduation. Seeing him or her cross that stage and accept their high school diploma was one of the happiest and most bittersweet moments of your life. What happened to the little girl or boy who would run up to you and give you humungous hugs out of the blue? The one you finger painted with and helped you bake cookies on Sunday afternoons?
Your kid is officially an adult when he or she turns 18, and it can feel incredibly momentous for the parents. You don’t technically have any jurisdiction over their behavior anymore, and they don’t have to live with you if they don’t want to. This shift can sometimes feel disorienting—like you’re not sure how to shift the dynamic of your relationship.
It’s completely understandable, and it will take time for things to even out. A new normal will be established, just like when you dropped them off at kindergarten for the first time, when they attended sleep away camp for the first time, and when he or she developed their first romantic relationship. Those were all momentous occasions, but you got used to it and accepted eventually.
In the back of your mind, ever since graduation day, you’ve been thinking about September. It’s now just around the corner. In a couple short months, your life is going to change forever when your kid leaves the house—only he or she isn’t a kid anymore, but a full-fledged adult, with all the rights and responsibilities that accompany this next chapter.
You’ll want to make sure he or she is set up as well as possible in the dorm before leaving. There will be extra expenses that you hadn’t considered before this time—like a mini-fridge, extra toiletries, new clothes, and more to start college off on the right foot. You won’t want to spare any expense to help he or she feel more comfortable and secure during their first few days of college and beyond. It’s the least you can do before it’s time to say goodbye.
But what if you’re on a limited income and don’t have much savings? How do you afford these extra expenses? You don’t want to say “no”—this is one of your last opportunities to really provide for your son or daughter before they’re on their own.
