[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thanks for the replies.  As I said, DS comes home on Sundays, usually does laundry, studies, eats and then leaves once the laundry is done. I’d say he’s here maybe 3 hours or so.  He has never come home on Friday or Saturday.  He has been going out on Friday nights and to the games on Saturday, which is funny to me because he has no interest in sports and wasn’t interested in that aspect of UMD culture.

I guess it does sound weird saying we sort of hope to see him less, but it’s coming from a place of wanting him to know that he is a capable and independent adult.  I did casually ask him today if other kids come home on weekends and he said that there are always a few kids on his floor who head home on Sunday.  So maybe we’re making it out to be a bigger deal than it is.[/quote]

Communal housing, with structured class schedule, meals provided for you, and all on your parent's dime (for many) is not him being "a capable and independent adult." It's adulting with training wheels, at best. And he's still a teenager. Give him an effing break. [/quote]
