[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was hanging out with friends, day trips,  going shopping, playing video games, doing some sports, movies, plays etc.

We traveled together for vacations. And everyone pampered him at home because he was going to college - 30 minutes away.

The time that your kids are with you at home is fleeting.  You want them to see their childhood home as a safe harbor.  A place of unconditional love and support.  The discipline and good habits that you want to impart to them should have happened from the time they were born and it should have come wrapped in the comfort of parental love, acceptance, respect, communication and care.

Don't be a toxic parent - just because you have the power to mess them up.

Your kid will dislike you forever - which is not the worst thing in the world,  BUT, they will also learn to behave the same way with their own kids - and that is the worst sin you will bring to your future generations.

+1 this is what my own summer before college was like. And it felt special - last time with HS friends all together, last time living at home with my family. I had a very PT job. We did a long family vacation together. Mostly I hung out with my friends and also my parents and read a lot, shopped to get ready for the college dorm, etc. [/quote]
