[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD, who will be heading off to college at the end of August just left this morning for a week's vacation with a friend and her family. But it is one of her best friends, so it was a no-brainer for her to say yes. You can tell your DD you are being a sentimental mom and will be a little sad to miss that extra time with her, but that it is totally her decision whether to go or not. And accept whatever she decides. Time to let her leave the nest. [/quote] No, don’t start with the guilt trips. Grow up, OP. I understand that you’re sad but don’t hold your daughter back if she wants to go. Let her enjoy her last summer before college the way she wants to; it’s normal for her to want to go on the vacation. She’ll be back; and is more likely to WANT to come back if she doesn’t feel like you are pressuring and pushing her. Just tonight my 50 year old husband was telling me how he loves his mom but he hates how clingy she is for his time.[/quote]
