Gee whiz, Nancy! Luann is an adult. She’s not in 3rd grade, where you must ensure that she does her ‘rithmetic homework. Luann is in college, and should be mature enough to do her essay without needing Mommy’s emotional (or whatever) support. Now, if her assignment was to “interview your parents about […] and contrast with today’s […]” I’d get it.
C’mon folks. seriously… when any of you were in college, did you need your parent to sit with you because they were worried that you were “stuck” on your assignment? I used to do my COBOL programming at the kitchen table when dinner was over. My parents basically gave me the time, quiet and space I needed to do my assignments, and that was all I could realistically want or expect from them. My COBOL programming = my responsibility. Already knew that at age 18.
