[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So just a thought. They are no longer in HS, no longer living at home, so things change and they should. There is no right or wrong on this but if you are texting and calling because you are lonely or miss them, while understandable, you gotta let go. Get a pet, pick up a hobby, this is their time, let them contact you. If you are worried about them for a particular reason (not I worry all the time, they might be kidnapped kind of stuff), that is different, but otherwise, go with that old phrase let them free and if they love you . . . Don't put pressure on them to make you less lonely. [/quote] I dunno. That's sort of old school thinking. Sending a text - "How was your first day of class?" is pretty standard stuff. Sometimes they text back "fine", sometimes they might even go into more detail. You can touch base without prying. In fact, all their friends from home are keeping in touch, why shouldn't their parents and siblings, too? [/quote]
