I think "We are really happy with our current situation and just love Rabbi So-and-So. Did you know he's the one who married us? Segue into fun memories of our wedding!" is a totally acceptable excuse for not falling for her guilt trip. It's also totally acceptable for you to go off in a corner somewhere with some other parent who isn't thrilled with VEP either and have a conversation that is totally separate from the guilt-trip gathering. I would also imagine that it's acceptable to send Adam off by himself, and let him walk back home when he's done hanging out with his old chums.

But come on, those of us who grew up with Jewish mothers should be masters at deflecting their guilt trips!

Am I out of the loop or did Adam already decide on a college? I don't know if they even had "early admission" or whatever it's called when I was a kid (then again, at that age, I barely had the motivation for community college, so I was totally ignorant of that whole scene). So I don't know if it's too early or too late to have heard back from anyone. But in any case, good luck! What's his first choice?
