Will I survive winter break?

My daughter is also home for 6 weeks. Some friends in NYC asked her to go into town to party and crash at his place. My daughter said, “I don’t think so. What planet are you from? Do you know my mother?” She understands that without knowing the family, there is no way I would let her sleep over. I may let her go, and sleep over at our friend’s house, but that’s a complete different scenario. She asked to drive 2 hours to visit a good friend in PA, but she stayed at her friend’s dorm, not at someone’s home without the owner’s permission.

I have to say, since she has been home she has contacted her friends in college less and less. She is spending more time with her friends from HS now that most of them are home. She is also spending quite a bit of quality time with us.

There is no reason to be bored for 6 weeks at home - do some errands, get a job. You would be surprised how fast time passes. My daughter went back to her tutoring job, also secured a summer internship. She also caught up with “Dancing with the Stars.”
