Should I expect my daughter to come home for weekend visits or wait until the holidays? Should I be hurt when she says she's staying at school and will be home for holidays but not necessarily to visit in between? What do people think? We were pretty close when she was home...I miss her terribly!

I have been in your shoes. My oldest is a girl. When she decided on a college she chose to go 250 miles away across the state. I was glad she made the choice because she was also not ready to go. It showed that in some ways she was ready to do so. She did not get to come home often as she did not have a car. She would get rides from friends here and there. I would make a trip during the semester to go see her sometimes taking her younger brother to see her too. We kept in touch via Skype and phones. We also emailed. We are very close...even to this day. Its not a bad thing if she stays at school and comes home on holidays only. It just shows she is learning to be independant of her family and is growing up. She is learning to depend on herself and friends. It should not make a difference in how close you are....in a lot of ways it will make you closer.
My daughter is now married at 22 with a baby. She is down the road from me with her husband and I do not see her all the time. We are still close. its what you make it. Keep up the connections, send care packages, and mail...they love it.

How far away is she? If she won't come visit, you could meet her at school for lunch?
