Having a very hard time with DS going off to college

[PlutoPony]

It was a rough weekend/ start to the week here. I won't get into details because it just takes too long, but let's just say that DS's former girlfriend totally kicked him when he was down this weekend.

Awww Marcy, sorry it was such a difficult weekend. Think you handled it well by going to see him and all, he knows he has your support but also realizes this is something he has to get through himself. IMO the ex did him a favor by being a you-know-what.... made it a cleaner break for him. Would't be at all surprised if she comes back to him at some point in the future either.
Hope the rest of his semester goes smoothly and he finishes strong academically

DH is getting me a radar detector for Christmas.

Radar detectors are illegal in our state ... With all the truck traffic on the interstate going to my son's school it's difficult to shave a lot of time on the drive. Hope I never have to do it

I really thought my son would get home more often with the kid he knows at school who is from this area.

Count me as another who expected their son to get home more often, given all the kids from around here who go to the same school. But he's been home only once and that was a 3 day fall break. It's a 3 1/2 hour drive so just long enough to make you think twice about doing it for Friday nite-Sunday. Plus the workload at the school is pretty substantial, it sounds they all stay there weekends, play Saturday and do work most of the day Sunday.

Interestingly, in talking with him this week he acknowledged that he "hit a wall" around mid-October and just couldn't/didn't put the work in that he needed to. During high school he had spurts where he had to put a lot of time in but not week in, week out. He's finding this school to be very different, the work load is high and you have to put a lot of effort in every week, it's very challenging and competitive. The weekend he came home apparently give him enough of a break to regain his footing so to speak, and his grades and effort are back where they need to be. Anyone else get this scenario from their kids? The adjustment to college isn't easy, even for those who seem to be happy and enjoying their new lives!

Nice long break coming at Thanksgiving and has a ride home and back to boot. And before we know it, first semester freshman year will be over

Good luck to all!

It must be difficult not seeing your son as much as you had hoped. At least he is committed to his studies. A lot of freshman don't commit very well at first. Too many other things to take their attention away from what they're really there for.

Our 2 sons are close enough (just under 2 hrs. each) to home that we get to see them more than we had thought we would. One of our sons has gotten into a rhythm of coming home every 2-3 weeks. He needs that weekend to de-stress. He gets to a certain point where he just needs to be at home in the peace and quiet with no distractions or demands on him and then he's fine to go back. The other one was adamant about not seeing us until Thanksgiving, but has been home a few times for the same reason.

Today is their 20th birthday!! Hard to believe. Where did the time go?!!

I just talked to my son last night and asked how his grades were. He gave me a kind of weak/shakey "okay, I guess." He is in an engineering program (where there aren't a lot of straight A's anyway) but he said that he's finding it tough and probably not working as hard as he should but is learning to buckle down. He said "This college is really hung up on accuracy and there's not all this hand-holding like at my high school." I did have to laugh. I often thought the teachers at his high school weren't hard core enough but let things slide. He's finding that everything counts.

I told him the story of when I was in college and wrote my first research paper in a computer class. My teacher marked me down for spelling "a lot" as "alot." I was mortified because I did it but then really bummed that I lost points in my computer class for that. I think that's the sort of thing my son is facing.

This semester has been a reality check for my DS as well. I think the combo of the relationship issues, plus the changes of living in a dorm, making all new friends, trying to manage his time- all of that stuff- has been affecting his grades. He is finding the material to be MUCH harder than in high school. For example, he had Psych in HS and it was EASY. He got straight A's in that class. He has Psych now- and is pulling a D and trying really hard to get a C. He is learning some of the same material, but presented differently, tested differently, and a lot more involved. I think he studies, but I don't think he studies hard or effectively. I am actually not really sure he knows HOW to study properly. That is something that he didn't really learn in HS. They were not good at preparing them in study habits. I am hoping that they Thanksgiving break will be helpful, and then he can push forward through finals. He is done Dec. 13. And then- we can move on to next semester, which I pray with my entire heart is WAY better than this semester!!!

I was very lucky that I didn't feel the empty nest syndrome very much at all and here's why-
Shortly before my first son went to college, I happened to be talking to a woman at church one day who had a severely mentally challenged son. Someone else had recently mentioned how sad they were that their son was leaving for college. She turned to me and sighed and said, "I wish she knew how lucky she was. Her son is doing NORMAL things. My son will never be able to move away from home." Lots of people may be thinking "Yeah, but....." but I never forgot the look on her face.

My first born and only son is multi handicapped, it was really hard when he moved to a group home.

Not only did I feel like a bad parent for doing the right thing for him. I also was happy after 1st year of sadness but then felt guilty for being happy that I no long had the day to day care.

He lives 10 mins away and is so much more mature now that "mom " isn't his caregiver.

It has been the worst adjustment of my life.

With dd1 she always made me lose sleep over worrying about her. She decided to not go to college but live her life ugh took her three years to wise up lol lives 15 mins away and calls all the time for woman advise

Dd2 was more emotional then me to leave but she also was the child that now she is gone made the house so quiet. She is only hour away and txt all time visits Atleast once month

Dd3 is only 10 and its like having an only child, we get to spend more time alone with each other, but she is getting whole different life experience then 3 older kids.

I keep telling myself they aren't gone, we just don't live in same house. It helps.

Part of me cant wait to not have the responsibly of children. The other part is sad that it just feels like my time as day to day mom is running out.

PSYCH 101 seems to be a killer for everyone I've talked to in the last decade. Just a LOT of material to cover. I always advise high schoolers that I know to take it as an AP course in high school!!!

I am sorry I dropped out for a while. I have been trying to deal with a goofy ex. who can't understand that I do not want a relationship with him. Any who

Any way I just got a call from my son. Appearly they just had a report of a person with a gun on campus. Everyone is ok my son just wanted me to know from him that everything is ok and he is fine. He did't want me to hear about it from the news. What is going on with people lately? Tonight is one night that I didn't have the news onI am so glad He thought to call me.

How is everyone? I promise as soon as my heart slows down to a jog I will read back.

Thank God he's okay! The world really is insane. Very adult like of him to think about you at a time like that. Great kid!

Wow, that's awful! So glad is all well, but mostly that he thought to call and say he was OK.

A few weeks into the school year, I got an early morning robocall from my son's school saying there had been a knife assault on someone at a motel a couple blocks from my son's dorm and that the assailant had not been caught. We got a couple follow-up calls too, but I don't think they ever found the person. It happened around 5:45 AM, so the alert came fairly early in the morning, making it seem even scarier.

I let their alert system work and resisted the urge to call my DS right away. I held out until about the time he would have been up getting ready for class. I said "So I assume you got an alert....." He said "Yeah..... five of them.....each time I fell asleep I got another." Oy.

Anyway...... we have DS home this weekend for a bonus visit! It was completely unexpected. The friend with a car can only has limited weekends off from duties at his fraternity, and decided to come home, even though he's coming home next weekend for Thanksgiving too!

Putting my home on the market this week. I'm pretty sure the school dd has her heart set on is one 8-9 hours away. People think I'm taking the hovering a bit too far when I tell them I'm moving to North Florida. Thing is I've lived here for 23 years now. I hate, hate, hate South Florida. First I was here for my job, then for my now ex husband's job, and of course to get her through school and be only 15-20 minutes from her dad. Well next year, I am free from those obligations. I have no family and no real friends down here. So a happy mommy is moving. Crossing fingers I can get rid of this house I got stuck with in the divorce that I hate.

Not sure yet where I will move. She wants to go to FSU in Tallahasse. I'm thinking somewhere around a small town north of Tampa. Close enough she can come home at least once a month, or I can go visit her. Not close enough for her to live with me---- Also close enough to do day visits to Disney

Much prayers and that your house sells quickly and for a good price. We all need to get distance from ex's.

 

[HERSEY]

Well I looked on the news regarding my son's school. They haven't found the person or could determine if there was a person. I am really glad they have a really good communication system for the kids. They were constantly updating them through the several hours they were in lockdown and then a stepdown lock. I did not sign up for the updates since I don't want the constant worry.

I would hop in my car and drive down for him in a heartbeat if he needs me. it would do no good for both of us to worry.

I need to get back to my cleaning. I had hoped to do some clean up outside but the weather here is not cooperating.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I'm so sorry. I totally understand though. Nobody in our family hunts, but I can totally get how disappointing it would be to give up a family tradition like that.

I really thought my son would get home more often with the kid he knows at school who is from this area. But his fraternity has so many time commitments, that hasn't happened since Labor Day. The other 2 times we had him home required 2 round trip rides from us.

I didn't realize that DS told DH that probably he won't be able to come hunting all 4 years! No wonder his poor heart was broken. Yeah, the fraternity does take a lot of commitment. I had not realized how much. I am glad he found them though, because they have helped him through a bunch of stuff.

Just a quick post because I vowed I wasn't logging on until after I'm packed. But I was thinking of all your kiddos and wanted to check in.

I am so jealous!!! I sure hope you have an AMAZING time!!!! can't wait to hear how your trip went. hopefully you will have perfect weather, low wait times and lots of pixie dust!

DS13 is painting the basement hallways at the church where we have Scouts. Actually, half the hallway. His half is nearly 4,000 sq ft of painting, which is why he's not doing the whole thing! Another boy is doing the other half, on a completely different weekend, and we cannot talk to them about it, so each boy is completely responsible for their own project!

DS18 is an Eagle Scout as well. He painted two classrooms and adjoining bathroom in the church. DS16 has done his Eagle Project, but still messing around with some merit badges...personal fitness, personal management... He re-lined the two parking lots at the church. A whole lot of painting going on in our family!

What did your DS do? Boy Scouts is really a great program. I'm happy my guys have stuck with it. We are down Scouts and down adults at the moment, so DH and I are wearing out a bit...but we will try to do our best and stick with it! Poor DH is doing nearly all the planning and nearly all the camping, having to twist arms to get a second adult to come camp! It is worth it though.

Great projects your sons did! Wow, you guys really are involved. I wish I had been more involved, but in the end I am happy I wasn't because when DS and DH came home from Philmont this past summer I heard about how DS really stepped up and took leadership. He was crew leader and I guess he did an amazing job. I am so proud of him. I realize had I been more involved I think that I might have hovered too much and not let him be independent.

For his project he combined 2 things he loves, chess and the outdoors. He bought and assembled 4 tables that have inlaid chess boards and donated them to our Park and Rec. so people can go out to the park and play chess/checkers.

I just talked to my son last night and asked how his grades were. He gave me a kind of weak/shakey "okay, I guess." He is in an engineering program (where there aren't a lot of straight A's anyway) but he said that he's finding it tough and probably not working as hard as he should but is learning to buckle down.

I often thought the teachers at his high school weren't hard core enough but let things slide. He's finding that everything counts.

It is tough to make that transition. This is not easy on any of us!

Oh my goodness, hugs to you! I guess that "guilty mom feeling" hangs with us regardless of what we do sometimes. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Hang in there. and yes, you do get to enjoy some personal time too, guilt free. We all should take some time to pamper ourselves. Hugs to you!

I sure hope your home sells fast and you can get somewhere that you will be happy. That stinks that you have been stuck there since the divorce. Now is your time too. I pray you find a happy house and great new friends.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Nothing really new to report. I'm just down in the dumps today, just sad for a variety of reasons. I needed to get a "DIS" pick me up! I'll be checking Youtube shortly for Disney montages. That usually helps.

I texted DS a little yesterday, but not much. looking forward to seeing him Thanksgiving weekend. AND my birthday is coming up, I hope I hear from him. That would be a great birthday gift.

That really is a bummer for your son knowing he probably won't get to opening weekend for 4 years. Sigh. I'm sure it seems like an eternity. Aren't they going to love it when they get to start back up again though.



It was a nice visit here. It was sunny and near 70 all weekend, so he got to just hang out and shoot a lot of baskets outside. I think he's really glad for the impromptu visit. I know I was! And as one might guess, saying good-bye is so much easier when you know he'll be back so soon!

Happy early birthday! I hope you hear from him on your birthday. I know that would mean more to you than anything. I know one year I was a little let down that nobody around here seemed to remember my birthday. I was really surprised when my DS wished me a Happy Birthday after school that day.

Here's your DIS birthday present..........



Now off to watch the Chiefs/Broncos game. We live in KC, but DS has always been a big Peyton Manning fan, so he's now rooting for the evil Broncos. I guess it's good we are all on opposite ends of the state for this one.......

Yikes! I guess that stuff happens everywhere- because my DS's college has had it's fair share of newsworthy stuff like that too. I don't get the alerts or robocalls, which is probably a good thing. My DS does- and then of course, I hear stuff on the local news since he is only 40 minutes from home. They had an armed robbery last year in a dorm and after that, voted to allow kids to carry with a permit. I have to tell you, I was not happy about it. I won't get into my views on guns, but I don't think college kids carrying on campus is a very smart idea.

Wow, that's awful! So glad is all well, but mostly that he thought to call and say he was OK.

These past two weeks have been full of ups and downs, but I think we are on the upswing! The whole ex-girlfriend thing is working on my nerves. She texted him a few days after the whole "incident" and begged him to talk to her. He said some not very nice things, and she laid a major guilt trip on him. He had called home about some other stuff, and told me about this too- but he sounded really good. He wasn't upset- he was kind of like "Oh, well. She'll get over it...." and sounded like he was moving on.

Three days after that, they are talking as friends again. I told him unless it is something really major- like he really needs us- just handle whatever. I can't take the stress of this craziness!

In the meantime, he went ahead and met with the Dean of the Communications department and changed his major. He was super excited about it and he said she was fantastic to speak to. She welcomed him to the department and said he will love it. She encouraged him to minor in Electronic Media, so he went to that department and spoke with the department head- so he's all set! I am amazed by him every day lately- he is really maturing and taking this stuff on by himself! Love it!

He also arranged with a professor to sit in the press box for the last football game on Saturday. He shadowed the announcers, which is like his dream job! He is a play by play type of guy- loves that stuff! He enjoyed it soooo much! The professor said that they need someone to do the play by play calling for the basketball games that occur over winter break and asked him if he was interested, if he lived close enough to call them. He is STOKED. So it looks like he will be driving down a few times to do that- I will probably go a few times too, and take my 14 year old, since he doesn't have his own car.

So good things are happening- he has been really positive- even started going to the gym with friends (he is not a gym guy- never once stepped foot in one! LOL). Got a new hair cut too! LOL All kinds of changes going on

We need to make the deposit for housing for next year. Upperclassmen can only live in the suite style dorms or the apartment style dorms, which stinks because it adds an additional $700+ to his room and board. He is leaning towards the apartment style, which means he won't need a meal plan, but honestly, he'd be eating EZ Mac every day, and I can't have that! I'd have to buy him the lowest meal plan, just for peace of mind! He says he will learn to cook this summer....

Hope everyone is doing well! I always look forward to reading updates!!

 

[HERSEY]

WOW our kids are handling their lives . I am amazed on how they handle things like changing majors, scheduling classes,etc and just last year they couldn't handle even switching their wash from the washer to the dryer.

Marcy you son does not he can block the ex girlfriend from texting and calling right?

My son wanted to change his meal plan, I told him he knows how much he wants to eat so handle it. I am not sure if he did, I did tell him the email address though. He needed to just email from his school email acct and do it. We will see.

 

[marcyinPA]

Marcy you son does not he can block the ex girlfriend from texting and calling right?

I think he knows- but he doesn't want to. Truth be told, he is still in love with her. Hopefully he will figure out the toxicity of this relationship without too much more heartache. All I can do is listen and pray that he is smart and protects his heart. (they are NOT back together- and God Willing, it won't happen- at least anytime soon! They need to grow up and live their lives- you know?)
