My eighteen year old son started college a few weeks ago. He and I were always very close and shared the same quirky sense of humor. My husband and I are now home with our fifteen year old daughter, a high school freshman. I miss him terribly, and he has told me in so many words that I bug him too much. I called him on his cell every few days to see how he was doing. I did promise to back off as my husband also felt I was hovering too much. I just want to know he's ok, and I like touching bases with him. I have however quit calling him. Anyone have any advice on how to deal with the separation? I want to hear from college students in regard to what they appreciated and did not appreciate from their parents. I also want to hear from other parents on how they dealt with the anxiety of not knowing how things are going for their child. He is by the way, a VERY responsible eighteen year old, very bright and has never given us a moments grief.
