Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. The Kids Go To College

After 18 years of nurturing, many parents are taking their kids to college for the first time.

The days leading up to the big move of independence can be exciting for some, and sad for others. We're not talking about the kids themselves: we're talking about parents.

In the second half of Friday's Up to Date, Steve Kraske welcomes Heather McMichael, who authored an article that appeared in The Kansas City Starabout her sending her oldest son off to college. We also talk with Cami Savage, a real estate agent and a former city councilwoman about her story of sending her kids off to school.

We want to hear your stories, too. Call 816 235 2888 and share them with us!

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
