[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a legal adult. OP, you must to adapt to his adulthood. The more you try to tighten the screws, the more he will pull away from you and not come home anymore. If you try to use money (tuition) as a cudgel, he might just call your bluff. Sure, okay, whatever. Let him be an adult. My college sophomore got home at 3 a.m.[/quote] The key word here is "adapt." I think the idea that you drop a kid off at college and then don't get to have any more requests/guidelines, etc. when they return home a mere 3-4 months later is ridiculous. And the ask here is not huge - literally a text to let people know you are ok. Totally reasonable. [/quote]
