  • Summary

  • College breaks bring joy, laundry, and a whirlwind of emotions. In this episode, I reflect on my Thanksgiving experience hosting both of my college-aged boys, sharing tips and lessons learned about managing expectations during these fleeting visits.

    From ditching the turkey for stress-free filets to navigating curfews, Harlan Cohen's advice on parenting college kids helped me embrace simplicity and flexibility. Discover the importance of limiting questions, respecting their need to recharge, and letting them set the pace during breaks.

    Plus, I share relatable insights from Chip Leighton’s humor about parenting college kids and how small gestures—like YooHoos and Christmas cookie body wash—can make homecomings extra special.

    Whether you’re facing your first college break or a seasoned empty nester, this episode is full of heart, humor, and helpful strategies.

    Tune in now to learn how to make the most of these fleeting family moments.
