What things to do when missing parents

<p>It's said that after entering the college, child changes to become much missed their home, I became to much understand the feeling recently, wanting to go home. I missed my parent, and wanted to do something for them to express my thankful treasure them. That I miss the night which mom covered the bedquit for me, that warm feeling. I think next time I go home, I'll go to market with my mom, or cook with her which I didn't often do in the past. Some people will become freqently to sleep with their parents. </p>

<p>What will you do, if you want to be intimate to you parant, hoping you can share with us .</p>

<p>Your sentiments and plans are beautiful and will, I’m sure, warm your parents’ hearts.</p>

<p>Also consider writing them a letter telling them what you told us – the specific things that you treasure about them.</p>

<p>When my younger S comes home from college, he makes a point of spending some time with me doing some things that I want to do. It’s time that I truly treasure.</p>

<p>These are some things that I like to do with my sons when they come home for visits:</p>

<p>–go out to dinner—go to a movie–watch a movie DVD–something silly like go out bowling or attempt to play a video game with them–plan a special meal and dessert to cook. One really nice thing to do is to just talk with your parent about what’s going on in your life. It’s really the little things that we parents are looking for such as smiles, conversation, or a hug once in a while. I’m looking forward to decorating the Christmas tree with my college kids when they get home. We put on the Christmas music, make some cookies, complain and laugh together about getting the lights onto the tree. Even at 18 and 21 years of age, they argue about who gets to put what ornaments onto the tree—it’s very funny. In other words, just enjoy each other’s company without any expectations. It’s the simple everyday things that make togetherness special.</p>

<p>Thanks for this post, 58 Joice.
My d was home for Thanksgiving and DID spend more time in the kitchen with me. Now I realize it was possibly her way of telling me that she missed me, and also maybe that she just wanted to spend some time together. I can tell you, I really appreciate her doing that. We don’t want THINGS from our kids, but very much love it when they choose to spend time with us. Of course, she was out the door with friends most of the time, and thats to be expected!</p>

<p>58 joice,
Let your parents know you value them while you’re off at school, too. S recently won an award and he called us at 11 pm filled with excitement, not thirty seconds after he got the email with the award. It was WONDERFUL to know he thought to call us first – even before Facebook and his friends! :wink: As much as we know you kids need to leave and become independent, we still miss you and want you in our lives.</p>

<p>I promise your parents will be touched if you share how you feel with them!</p>

<p>I’m glad some family was warmer than before because of this post. And I’m thankful for seeing the key words - to talk the daily life with parants , do what them like with them.
That this board are really make luckiness :slight_smile: I won’t let my parent worry about me.</p>

<p>You little sweetheart, I’m going to think of you when I’m annoyed at my son. Today, he is arriving home for a month. One of the things we like to do together is watch the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”. And it is on tonight. It’s about a man that has a rough time, considers suicide but discovers how much he has enriched his family, friends and community.</p>
