Listen Later

It can be tricky to learn new dynamics when your kid leaves then returns. Do you still give them a curfew when they come home for a long weekend? Should you ask them to do chores? What are you actually supposed to do and not do when they come back to visit after moving out? Answer: it’s a bizarre adjustment, for sure!


We chat about today:

  1. Give yourself grace, it’s a bit of a whiplash to learn how to live again with them in your space. Finding your new normal can take time. Embrace the messy middle!

  2. Helpful mindsets to center yourself when annoyance creeps in about their added mess.

  3. Why how you interact with your child will be very individual to the culture in the home you desire.

  4. Thoughts on bailing your kids out from responsibilities when they are stressed … healthy? Or not so much?

  5. Easy to remember curfew idea for when your kiddo is still in highschool

  6. The danger of enforcing rules after your child hasn’t had them for awhile at college or when moved out.
