My DS is in 1st year at uni, far from home. So, he has never been great at keeping in touch, but will usually reply to a text and we chat couple of times a week (it's always me who calls).
He went off on uni ski trip on the 6th Jan and we said the usual ' keep in touch'. More due to the fact that hundreds of mad teens skiing and partying all week, I wants to make sure he was ok. Anyway, he did let me know he arrived, and then nothing. He returned on Sunday the 15th and despite my 'are you back yet?, nothing.
I am a mixture of sad, angry and frustrated.
is it too much to ask for a bit of thought in terms of appreciation, contact and consideration?
We pay approx £100 pw for his rent and paid for his ski trip..... I know love isn't conditional on spending, but right now I feel used and totally unappreciated for what we do for him.
Any thoughts?
