I love my sons dearly. The youngest is about to move to halls on Sat and boy is he pushing my buttons. Please tell me I'm not alone with the behaviours he's displaying, here goes:-
He closes off any discussions about Uni, ie prepping, what to bring, has he done all the online paperwork etc
He hasn't looked into anything on freshers week, bought any tickets for events etc, wtf?????
I know more about his halls accommodation, kitchen etc than he does 🤦🏽♀️
He's played no part in what to pack take up with him 🤷🏽♀️
He's not done a tour of the Uni or the city 🤦🏽♀️
The list goes on and on. I have tried really hard to not nag, get at him etc, but inside I am saying 'wtf, do u even want to go to Uni?' I've told him that's absolutely fine if so. I know he's nervous and stressed about it all, so I have given him lots of personal space, but not booking freshers events etc where he'll meet everyone in the same boat, seems bizarre to me. Any tips please, the journey up to halls is going to be chuffin painful as he's so closed off. I'm considering saying 'wd u rather go up with dad and bro and I'll stay home?' I've reached the point where I'm actually fine with this now. I'm sick of being on the receiving end of his moody, stroppy behaviour. Bring back bootcamps eh! 😆 ps Uni will be great for him, he'll do some chuffin growing up for 1, have to do his own housework for a change and most probably meet his match in the moody/stroppy stakes.💪
