After all, who wants to force a 20-year-old to do anything he doesn\u2019t want to do?<\/p>\n<p>Instead, we let him know the family schedule for the time he will be at home and let him decide. \u201c<em>Your sister has a ukulele recital on Dec. 15.

We simply ask what time he will be home. He typically comes home by midnight or 1 a.m. when he is home from college.

It may not be the first year, but soon enough, he will come home with a couple of buddies one weekend and a girlfriend for you to meet for the holidays. <\/p>\n<p>Have a plan in advance about sleeping arrangements. Your college student is used to hanging out with his significant other in their dorm room or apartment. If it\u2019s the first time your college student has brought a girlfriend\/boyfriend home from college to spend a few nights at your house, you need to have a plan otherwise there will be some awkwardness.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/college-home-pin.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"\" data-pin-title=\"\" data-pin-id=\"\" src=\"denied:data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDI0IDE1MzYiIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE1MzYiIGRhdGEtdT0iaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZkYWlseW1vbS5jb20lMkZwb3J0YWwlMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYxMSUyRmNvbGxlZ2Uta2lkczIuanBnIiBkYXRhLXc9IjEwMjQiIGRhdGEtaD0iMTUzNiIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Daily-Mom-Parent-Portal-Home-From-College\" class=\"wp-image-271968\" title=\"Home From College - Do You Require Your Big Kids to Follow Family Rules? 6 Daily Mom Parents Portal\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>We did not have a plan. The first time our son brought his college girlfriend home to stay, he assumed his girlfriend would bunk in his room and that he would sleep on the couch. But he also assumed it was ok to hang out in his room with the door closed all evening or in the mornings. <\/p>\n<p>At the time, our daughter was in fifth grade, we pulled our son aside and asked that the bedroom door stay open when he is home from college with his girlfriend. We said, \u201cYour sister may be at her first boyfriend\u2019s house in middle school or high school, what would you want her to do in that situation?\u201d He agreed the door would stay open. <\/p>\n<h5>Read More: Getting Off The Pills: Pain Relief Without Taking Any Form of Drugs<\/h5>\n<p>Have a discussion about alcohol and substances in your home, too. We make sure our son knows he can call us for a ride no matter what at any time. But we also reiterate that information every now and then as he nods and repeats, \u201cI know, Mom. I know.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Of course, we trust our son, but we know that a study from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found that 30 percent of full-time college students took part in binge drinking the previous month, and 20 percent used an illicit drug the previous month. College is the place where many try their first drink of alcohol. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_From_College_and_Chores\"><\/span>Home From College and Chores<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/college-home-pin.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"\" data-pin-title=\"\" data-pin-id=\"\" src=\"denied:data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMjAwIDgwMCIgd2lkdGg9IjEyMDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODAwIiBkYXRhLXU9Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGZGFpbHltb20uY29tJTJGcG9ydGFsJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDIxJTJGMTElMkZkaXNod2FzaGVyLmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSIxMjAwIiBkYXRhLWg9IjgwMCIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Daily-Mom-Parent-Portal-Home-From-College\" class=\"wp-image-271970\" title=\"Home From College - Do You Require Your Big Kids to Follow Family Rules? 7 Daily Mom Parents Portal\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Before your college student returns home for the holidays, remind him that this is his home. He\u2019s not just visiting for the weekend. Ask him if he can pick up a few of his old chores while home for four weeks. Don\u2019t assume that your college student will fall back into the routine of taking the trash out on Tuesdays or unloading the dishwasher every other day. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Read More: Chore List by Age: Easy Ways to Assign Family Chores to Kids as Young As 2<\/h5>\n<p>But if you ask and communicate, then no one assumes. And, better yet, your son is made to feel not like a guest but an appreciated member of the family when he is home from college. Sometimes it\u2019s tough on the college student to see little family dynamic changes or changes to the home when they come for the holidays. Be sensitive to their feelings, communicate changes, and don\u2019t assume.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holiday_Traditions_When_Home_From_College\"><\/span>Holiday Traditions When Home From College<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"795\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dailymom.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/college-home-pin.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"\" data-pin-title=\"\" data-pin-id=\"\" src=\"denied:data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMjAwIDc5NSIgd2lkdGg9IjEyMDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNzk1IiBkYXRhLXU9Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGZGFpbHltb20uY29tJTJGcG9ydGFsJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDIxJTJGMTElMkZkaXNod2FzaGVyMi5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iMTIwMCIgZGF0YS1oPSI3OTUiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Daily-Mom-Parent-Portal-Home-From-College\" class=\"wp-image-271971\" title=\"Home From College - Do You Require Your Big Kids to Follow Family Rules? 8 Daily Mom Parents Portal\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>When your child leaves the nest for college, the holidays are forever a bit different. Traditions change as the family grows and changes. That\u2019s OK, just be ready for it. Talk to your college student about his\/her favorite holiday traditions \u2013 chopping down the Christmas tree, decorating the tree, the neighborhood party, filling Christmas gift baskets for families in need, or baking cookies. When you know which traditions your big kid really enjoys and wants to still participate then adapt your December calendar, as best as possible, so those family traditions can be done when your student is home from college.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>Communication is the answer. If your children are younger or in high school, take a few moments to think about how things will be when they come home from college for a visit. Those five minutes can help you tweak family rules now that will lay the groundwork for future visits home from college with friends, boyfriends, and girlfriends.<\/p>\n<p>If your college student is headed home from college shortly for the holidays, then embrace the time with your big kid with respect and understanding. Know that most of the time he is living and working independently without constant rules and direction from you. Just communicate directly, and don\u2019t make assumptions about your college student. Be open. Make some hot cocoa and let the conversation happen naturally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Source: Gateway Foundation, Collegiate Parent, and  Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Photo Credit: Unsplash, Pexels<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>WANT TO READ MORE?<\/strong><br \/>Check out this article on Non-Traditional Alternatives for High School.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\ud83d\udc96 <strong>NEWSLETTER:<\/strong> <strong>DAILY READS IN YOUR INBOX<\/strong> \ud83d\udc96<br \/>Sign up to receive our picks for the best things to do, see and buy so you can relax and focus on more important tasks!
