[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try not to be “that mom” who tries to make her kids feel guilty about time spent with me. It’s much nicer when they choose to carve out time for family on their own. This has also served well into post college early adulthood when jobs and schedules aren’t always under their control or significant others play a part. Be excited to see them, let them know they’re loved, but don’t try to control their time. I’ve also seen how controlling can backfire longer term…when they’re free they never look back because of the bad feelings that were created. [/quote] I am 53 years old, and I still remember how much I loved it when I'd go home from college for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and my parents would encourage me to see my friends! They knew we were all close and missed each other as we were all in colleges in different states. I loved that.[/quote]
