[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- clarifying- We didn't say "we wish she weren't at home with us".  We said something to the effect of "we wish she could have finished her semester because we know how much you love school and are sorry that this is happening" ... I didn't word that well in my original post but absolutely didn't imply we don't want her home. [/quote]

It's good that you validated her like that, Op.

I remember what I was like at her age.  My own freshman year was so fun, one of the best times of my life actually.  Like your daughter, I also hated HS and I really came into my own in HS.  I actually hated to go home for summer break but I had a summer job and a boyfriend and friends that I could go out with.  We had so much fun going hiking in Skyline Drive and living it up in Georgetown.  Even so, I couldn't wait to get back to college in the fall.

I'm lucky that my own son can finish up his semester online and he also has a job to go to.  Not much else to do, but there is that.

Be patient with your daughter.  Maybe suggest that she go for a jog to blow off some steam.[/quote]
