I understand both both sides of this situation. My D is a college senior home for 4 weeks and she has been splitting her time well between family, BF and friends. I suspect your parents are not only worried about your safety, but also missing you. Many kids who go off to college are so excited about their new life and friends they may not realize how hard an adjustment it is for the parents to have their child be out of the house. This is your first time back home in awhile, and it IS the biggest family holiday of the year. I am suggesting that maybe the issue isn’t so much that they are trying to control you as that they just want you to be home for awhile before you go back to school. Maybe spring break would be a better time to plan a college group get together. Give them some warning though, and make solid, sensible plans.
