[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single mom here.  I’d love to get out of this house, but my sister made a point - that she didn’t actually mean to make - that what if freshman DD is homesick and there’s no home anymore?  Home that she knows.  I’m staying a bit longer.[/quote]

You are a good mom![/quote]

If she were such a good mom she wouldn’t have such a selfish and infantile kid. [/quote]

We know nothing about the kid. Only that she MAY be homesick. [/quote]

A kid who fought to overcome lifelong learning challenges.

A kid who beat the odds to even make it to college at all.

The hardest-working kid I know.

The polar opposite of prior PP’s ignorant and offensive characterization.[/quote]

Well, you buried the lead so that poster’s response should have been expected.  [/quote]

The point is, a kid doesn’t have to be all of the above to be homesick.  And being homesick does not make a kid - any kid - selfish and infantile.

That PP is just a jerk - apparently for the sport of it.[/quote]

No, being homesick doesn’t make the kid infantile.  It’s treating the kid as an infant that does.  Which is what one does when they base their decision on what to do with their own life on whether their adult child might be homesick. You’re infantilizing your kid.  Because I guarantee you that when the time comes for them to take their first job, they won’t make a decision on where to live that has anything to do with you.  They will make the decision on the basis of what’s best for them.[/quote]
