Fed up with attitude

@hmays1 - totally been there! D1 is in her second year of college - we love her dearly and she is a joy on the phone but oy, those times home have been the hardest. She finally settled mid summer after her first year and things seemed to be so much better, but we went for the second (and last time!!) to parents weekend in October and she complained about everything - how early we were making her get up to join us (1pm!!!) how uninterested she was in what we wanted to do versus what she wanted to do, let us know how much she was missing out on campus by being with us (she spent half her time on her phone texting her roommates) and then as we were in the airport waiting to fly home, she called and texted how much she loved having us, how much she misses us already and how she wishes she had cuddled and hung out with us more! Go figure! I’ve heard this peaks first year or summer home and then gets better and better - so keeping our fingers crossed. And not excited but prepared to go through this with D2 who is now a senior in HS…
