If you’ve done the whole college Parents Weekend thing, you know it’s a wild mix of excitement and exhaustion. There’s the scramble for reservations, the nonstop walking, the emotional rollercoaster of seeing your kid thriving — and then having to say goodbye all over again.

In this week’s episode of The Bubble Lounge, Martha sits down with two fellow moms who’ve each had totally different Parents Weekend experiences. From the ones who planned every minute to the ones who just showed up and winged it, they’re sharing what really happens when you visit your college kid — the good, the awkward, and the downright hilarious.

Together, we unpack how to set realistic expectations, what to do (and what not to do), and how to actually enjoy the weekend without needing a full recovery day afterward. Whether you’re gearing up for your visit or still catching your breath from the last one, this is your go-to guide for surviving Parents Weekend with your sanity — and your sense of humor — intact.

Grab your coffee — or maybe something stronger — and tune in for a candid, funny, and heartfelt conversation every college parent will relate to.
