[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to UMD.  40 minutes from home.  He would come back during the weekend like clockwork. We were thrilled to see him and never asked him why.  I would send him back with care package, washed and ironed his laundry, supplies.

Anyways, over the years, he comes less and less. Stays in an off campus apartment.  During the summer, he comes but gets busy with his internships.  We don't worry about it. He has friends, joined a few clubs, getting good grades, interning for money each summer etc.

Give your kid time. Don't create a problem where none exists. [/quote]

And he will look back with gratitude for the support his parents consistently showed him.  AND, he’ll want to continue coming home to visit as he gets older, bringing his own family with him.  [/quote]

Absolutely.  Your home and you should be a safe haven for your kids.  These are turbulent and trying times.  It is impacting these children, especially because they also had to live through the COVID isolation. Be a rock for your kid and they should know that their parents are always going to be there for them.

Give them roots so that they can fly.  You should always want your kid to have a place to go and people who love them. This is what you are giving them. [/quote]
