The University Drop-Off Countdown
About this episode
The episode discusses the emotional and logistical challenges of sending kids off to university, including dorm room preparations and the impact on family life.
We’re officially entering our university/college drop-off era!

Do they really need a perfectly decorated room, stocked snacks and fancy shower bottles, or is a little “jail cell” living part of the experience? Plus, we’re getting real about the chaos of move-in day, watching our kids grow up, and the realization that once they leave, life at home will never be exactly the same. We’re excited, terrified, slightly delusional and pretending everything is fine. Because everything is fine....right??
