<p>S is coming home tonight and won't go back for four weeks. I'm wondering if he is going to get a bit bored being away from college that long. He's been so busy up there that, while I'm sure the first couple weeks of little to do will seem great, I'm thinking he might get antsy around week three. </p>
<p>Thanks Donemom for the curfew ideas. I think that asking them to call when plans change is courteous and will ask S to do so. He didn't have the chance over Thanksgiving to stay out late (all night) because he was sick and was only here for a few days. I'm hoping that his transition back to "in-residence member of the family" will not be too jarring for all of us. He values his independence so much and now that he's had an entire semester being his own man, I'm half expecting him to become defensive if I so much as ask where he's going.</p>
