My son rather be in his room (door closed, of course), with his friends, or off doing his own thing. God forbid I ask him where he's going, who he'll be with, or when he'll be home. He usually slinks away if I try to go in for a quick hug.
The typical response? "Geez, Mom. Lay off! Leave me be!"
He recently turned 18 and is considered a legal adult. So, many of the household rules we had in place just a few short weeks ago now seem to have fallen by the wayside.
Author then goes on to say the son "doesn't seem to realize or value that his girlfriend and friends are going to different universities and different states" but fails to connect that thought to "spending all his time with his friends and not doing family things"
