[quote=Anonymous]My DC is also a freshman (and I have an older one). The freshman spent a lot of time with HS friends this weekend. Similar to yours, went out Wednesday night when she got home, Friday afternoon and Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. Part of why they are excited to come home their first break is to see friends. This tends to become less pronounced by junior/senior year. I think you need to let it go. You can find a lot on line about the challenges parents and kids face during college, that are very pronounced freshman year. Parents want/expect things to be like they were in HS, and kids have trouble adapting to the rules and expectations of home after being free and independent at college. My DC's college actually sends periodic emails from the office of student life to remind parents of these dynamics. It's worth reading some of this stuff. [/quote]
