Looking forward to it. My life is going to be somewhat chaotic in the next 6 weeks.
He has a prestigious internship lined up in DMV, a close family member is very sick and we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best, my house is undergoing some repairs and renovation, I am on a diet and exercise program, I need to get lots of medical tests, need to declutter some areas, my mom is battling cancer...oh my! |

| NP. Kid has been home from college for 2 weeks and has spent every day with HS friends. It is sweet that they are still close, but _every day_? Also, kid complains that friends have interesting internships, but they only got a part time job. However, has shown no initiative to find more work and has actually asked for time off from the part time job to spend more time with friends. |

| My freshman was pleasant when I saw him that first summer home, but spent almost all day sleeping and then was up at night playing video games. Had a PT job but it was online. Let’s just say we made sure he has a 12 month lease the next years and stayed there for the most part. Does your son have a summer job that can keep him busy? And help him grow up a bit? |

| Each summer in college I got a job that part d enough for me to live cheaply somewhere else. I'd encourage that for your kid next year. I had a blast and got to try out new cities. |
