I remember when I first went to uni - it was very daunting. You don't have the support of family (well, as much) so you're much more on your own. Had some good bits (staying in bed until PM) and bad moments (laundry, washing up etc).
She'll learn to cope.

First time I caught my Dad properly crying was when I left home properly. I think he's over it now. It's been nearly 25 years!  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Actually, I'm thinking you'll both be better off. I'm dying to get outta my parents place, but my broken ankle has put the move on hold  How old is she?

She's 19, I've just got back from taking some of her stuff over and it's quite amusing seeing mother and daughter disagreeing over what should go where etc..... I made a swift exit and left them to it

Tell you daughter to let her mother put things where she wants them, your daughter can then go around when her mother has left and put them where she wants them...
When I went to uni my Mum was insistent on setting up my room, putting food in my cupboard etc...In the end I turned my room upside down and then put it back together my way, and as for my kitchen cupboard, when I emptied it out at the end of the year I found things I never knew I had!

Lol. Is she moving into a house/flat/halls? When I first moved into halls, the 'rents helped with moving stuff in but I directed where most things should go (bedding goes on the bed, clothes in the wardrobe, books on the shelf) though TBH I didn't let them do much. Plus I rearranged everything as soon as they had left. Which I guess is something your daughter can do afterwards. Putting things in the place you want them to be yourself makes it easier to remember where everything is when you come to look for it. _________________He fights for the users.
