[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 475294, member: 1514"] Oh honey...that sounds like such a normal kid home for a weekend from college. They simply arent thinking about spending it with mom and dad! You might want him to sit down and spend the weekend with you but in his mind it was "oh great, home for the weekend, time to catch up with my friends. I can go see girlfriend, sleep at her house, see go to the party, have fun." The fact that he spent some time with you on the night he arrived, then came back by to say good bye is great. Dont worry about what he took. As he gets older and older, he will just spend less and less time with the 'rents. It doesnt mean he loves you any less it just means he is growing up. It also means you did your job. [/QUOTE]
