Kate Hilpern (Journalist) is looking for students to interview for her article. See her message below for more details...
Following this week's news that people are increasingly naming their parents as their agent on their UCAS form, I am working on an article for the Guardian newspaper on parents' growing involvement in their adult offspring's lives. Some accompany their son or daughter to induction day; others go to careers fairs with them; some go to job interviews; others call up their offspring's employers. I'm interested in talking to people whose parents have a strong involvement in their lives. The purpose is not to criticise the trend - indeed, many people welcome parents' growing interest and see it simply as a reaction to how friendly we are with our children these days. Others find it a bit suffocating. I would welcome hearing from you by email - with a view to interviewing you on the phone before Wednesday, when I have to write the article. Please contact me at [email protected]
