first post, be very gentle with me!
i was just browsing through AIBU and i found this thread, and i'm kind of in a similar situation.
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1330478-to-be-upset-with-my-DD-for-prioritising-time-with-her-boyfriend-over-family
basically, my only DD has just gone off for her first term at university and hasn't even spoken about coming back once when many of my friend's children the same age have popped back once or twice already! she is not far from home, and although i should be happy that i've raised a lovely, independant girl- she has visited her boyfriend for nearly half the weekends she's been at university. although i can't stop this :/ it's just very hurtful that when she's on skype to me, she's texting him- and that she doesn't want to come home, but she'll be happy to jump on a 3 hour train journey when he asks....angry/jealous
however, what has really annoyed me is that DD is home for christmas, but as soon as new years eve comes- she's booked a city break away (despite her being 'poor') and she'll be gone until the day before university term starts when she expects me and DH to get up at the crack of dawn and drive her back to university the next day.
alot has gone on back home since she left regarding the health of GPs and a few arguments between me and DH so surely i'm not being unreasonable to expect her to stay at home for the whole of the christmas holidays, when she clearly is not expecting to return home until then?
thoughts please. a bit upset :(
