So sorry. Maybe try to convince her to finish the semester and have an exit plan for December. And CC near home is a good option. Money saving too. My DS-20 is getting his associates at CC. Almost done. Hugs to you.white flag waving
Anyone has/had a kid ready to pack up and come home? Need advice (other than telling her to suck it up) for our dd. It's just all too much. One issue at a time would be doable. Her class work, roomie sit, homesick, been health sick for two weeks, no job, bad food, etc etc all crashed down last wed night. Talked her through the weekend but don't think it is going to work out.

DD is sick. She had a bad cold when we visited her for the big football game on Sept 30th. She got worse last week - completely lost her voice, tons of yellow mucus, etc. So I told her to make a clinic appointment, which she did last Thursday. They didn't take her seriously at all. They said her lungs were clear and all she needed was a few cough drops for her voice. Fast forward to the weekend and now both her ears are killing her. She's been taking ibuprofen to be able to sleep through the pain. I told her to make another appointment this morning. She can't get one for today, so she's going first thing tomorrow morning. Grrrrr!!!! I wish they'd treated her for the sinus infection she obviously had last week because now she has a double ear infection!

Mine are dying for us to bring them home so they can get all their favorite meals too...Hibachi also being one. They have fall break this Thur to Sun but we won't be able to get them since we are 9 hours away and DH just went up there on the 29th-30th. He did let them pick where to go for dinner...they said Hibachi but MIL and FIL were there too and they don't do Asian food so DDs' second choice was Red Robin so they did get that. Maybe over Thanksgiving break. We are getting them then.My daughter came home Friday night- of course Amtrak was running an hour late so she got home around 1am. Just dropped her off in NYC this morning to take Amtrak back to school. Nice visit- LOTS of eating- went out Saturday to her favorite Italian place for lunch then the Melting Pot for Dinner- On Sunday she wanted to go to a Hibachi place she likes and this morning she bought a dozen bagel to take back to school. I think she lost a few pounds in the month I have not seen her (she is only like 86 pounds to begin with!).
Thanks for the well wishes and messages too. She is coming home Friday. I'm torn. Mom wants to cover her baby bird and see her fly too. Know what I mean?
Finding that balance is so hard! Hugs to both of you! She will fly in her time and her way...it's just a little different than you thought it would be.

Is she coming home from school or for just the weekend? Its really hard to know when they are ready and to find the right launch pad for them.Thanks for the well wishes and messages too. She is coming home Friday. I'm torn. Mom wants to cover her baby bird and see her fly too. Know what I mean?
Check out http://www.collegeconfidential.com/ there is a a number of discussions on care packages. Somewhere I read of the mom who slaps an address label on the pumpkin and sends it off - no box/wrapping, just the pumpkin with goodies in it.We get to see DD this weekend-yay!!!!!1 Its been a month since we've last seen her. This is the longest we've ever gone without seeing her. I'm trying to put her Halloween care package together. its a pumpkin head plastic candy holder kids take trick or treating. it was only $1 at wal-mart. I just need to figure out best way to wrap it with clear wrap cello and tape or seran wrap and tape and send through he mail.
stuff I'm putting in
-3 mini packs of almonds, cashews and cranberries
-1 mini pack of sea salt almonds
-1 weird fuzzy type animal pen(cute)
-1 pack of pacifica underarm deodorant wipes from ULTA
-2-3 rice crispy treats
-mix chocolate mini candy bars twix, snickers, m&m's
-$10 in 1's rolled in those plastic spiders
Not sure what else I wanted to incide a paul Mitchell curl gel but its $20 and I wanna make sure theres no issues with sendy a plastic pumpkin pail
Good for her for being willing to put herself out there to find new people! So glad she and her roomies are doing well and settling in with each other.I'm sure it will be a relief to see her not be miserable. Best wishes in finding the next step.
Sunday after work DD and her roommates carved pumpkins. They were very cute! She said that was the first time they all hung out together and there was no awkwardness. It's hard to find a time that all 4 are around. She's been wanting a group picture but it didn't happen Sunday either. I think soon they are going to have a "feast" together with a rotisserie chicken and sides.
She'd still like to meet more people but isn't sure how. She may try reading in a public space in the wellness center and see if anyone strikes up a conversation. She also will probably try a Christian group Thursday night. It's a little harder with the apartment style living and it being a community college with a lot of commuters and fewer campus activities. And she basically only takes graphic design classes, so she's not having classes with a large cross-section of students.
Tell that girl to eat more at school! That seems very thin to me even if she's short. Maybe you can send her food via Amazon if she doesn't like the school's food.My daughter came home Friday night- of course Amtrak was running an hour late so she got home around 1am.
