<p>I’m actually getting ready to deal with this myself, as I’ve always been a commuter student until now. I’ll be living in a dorm 45 minutes away to a town my family frequents for errands and appointments so I’ll be able to see them when I’m not busy or in class. My Mom doesn’t expect me to come home every weekend, especially if I get the job I’m hoping I do since its a weekend morning position, and wants me to stay on campus. My grandmother on the other hand is all but demanding that I be home every single weekend from the minute my class ends on Friday to sometime late Sunday night. Not happening, and I know she and my mom have gone rounds already over this. We live in a mixed household by the way.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I won’t be home every weekend and answering every single on of their calls (again the grandmother). The only thing my Mom has asked is that I’m home obviously for the major holidays during the semester, that I do call occasionally but if I don’t call her at least text her every couple of days so she knows I’m alive and didn’t get abducted by aliens or something.</p>
