Long day yesterday, 350 mile round trip picking up DS from uni. Turned up at lunchtime to find he wasn't quite as 'all packed up' as we'd hoped and spent four hours packing, cleaning & clearing. Was touch and go as to whether we'd get it all in the car + roofbox (thank goodness I'd taken the vacuum bags for bedding etc!)
And this morning DH & I have unpacked it all into the hall (DS still 😴) as we need the car and we're looking at it thinking 'what do we/DS do with all this stuff'?
On one hand, I want DS to deal with it - washing, sorting, putting away (where?) but then I know it's going to take AGES and much nagging.
Do you get involved? Does stuff get sucked back into the home, or just piled up somewhere waiting to be taken back again in September?

So they're back, with all their stuff! What do you do?

Buy very cheap duvets and towels and don't bring them back was something I learnt after the first year
