[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DCs didn't attend a boarding school, but their MS fiends did. One thing I noticed is the BS parent/kids spend a lot more time together than I did with my DCs. When there is a BS parents' weekend, event, etc. they spent time together. My DCs wouldn't spend a Friday night, Saturday or Sunday with me when they were in HS. [/quote]

My teen sons play sports and have friends, but we have a family dinner most nights of the week.  Sometimes it’s early, sometimes it’s late.

We also go out to a restaurant as a family for dinner once a week or more which they love because they are good restaurants.  They will meet up with friends afterwards if we have family dinner at 6pm and head out for the night.

My husband and I both work from home and attend all their club and high school sports games.  I can’t imagine not seeing them 14-18 except for a parents’ weekend.

I also like they navigate Metro and the city by themselves.  I think I that makes them more independent than in the middle of nowhere on a lush campus and they have a very diverse group of friends.[/quote]
