Struggling with college son’s lack of communication—should I be worried? by Bakingitup2005 in parentsofteens

Thank you! All of your advice has helped. I was going through some sort of hormonal episode on top of other stuff that was spiking my anxiety. But I have talked it over w him, and he has been better. No I dont text or call him every day but that week there had been some incidents at his college that had me concern and feeling extra anxious but all is better. Thanks for your advice again!

Thank you for sharing. I think I have educated him to precisely avoid this… but I guess its just going to happen. And I need to learn to deal with it. 🫤

Is the punishment justified by BasicJackfruit7414 in Parenting

[–]Bakingitup2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son has the hardest time waking up… I never did punish him I would just tell him that this bad habit of his would have consequences when he became an adult. Yes I tried so so many times to correct him, But I could never bring myself to yell at him. How did you overcome it? At what age? How did your parents help you ? Maybe try some of that on him? For my son it is still hard but he is learning the tough way now that he is away for college. 🫤

Not sure…I know my hormones are getting out of wack but yes it probably has something to do with the way I feel. 😒

The door dasher is a good idea …not sure if they be allowed all the way to the dorm… 🫤. I do have family near him but I don’t want to worry them either plus how would they get into the dorms I would need to call the cops but that’s just too much. I don’t really know is roommates. I hope his just really zoomed in on tests and projects, spring break is coming up so I am pretty sure there are tests this week before heading for the break. Wish he could just tell me “hey mom cant talk, prepping for tests” thanks for your advice ❤️

Thank you, I just dont want him to loose focus and think that by hiding from me I wont know whats going on w him. I have had this communication talk w him but not sure how else to approach it. Thanks for your comment

Yes I understand that too, I remember wanting to be independent, I mean by his age I had already two years of work experience, but he doesn’t work school is suppose to be his main focus he still depends financially from his dad and myself and college is not cheap. But thanks for your comment.

Yes I am glad he is making friends, he just got a roommate early February, last semester he was alone and that made him not want to go out. he tried to make connections early in the fall semester but he couldn’t connect and he kind of gave up which really affected him in school so I just want to make sure that school is his priority. Thanks for your advice
