<p>A Parent’s Perspective: Time to have a sit down heart-to-heart with your Mom.</p>
<p>We have 3 kids, 2 that went to college @ 1 hr away. They didn’t live at home, except in the summer, and it was fun treating them like adults. All we asked was just common courtesy, like they were a roomie or something. If they were going out, they would let us know, and to let us know if they would be late - not because we were "granting permission " - but because it was the polite thing to do.</p>
<p>So, treat your Mom like a rooomie, and she should treat you as another adult.
And you could maybe bring some friends over for a home-cooked meal, let your Mom feel motherly!</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
