- My son is coming home from college for the first time this holiday season.
- I'm worried he won't listen to any of my rules, so I'm trying to adjust expectations.
- I do not expect him to hang out with me all the time, but he needs to be at certain events.
As a mom during the holiday season, I find myself busy and rushing to get everything done.
