Homesick...I shall be...?!
Question: Homesick!.!.!.I shall be!.!.!.!?
Hi! I'm,!.!.!.!.umm!.!.!.13, and I am very homesick!. This Sunday, I'm spending the night at my aunt's farm, an hour away from my house!. The next day, I'm going to the Great Wolf Lodge with them!. I ALWAYS get homesick at their house, because they have little kids, and they cling to their mom sometimes, and that makes me miss MY mom!!! :( Any ideas on how to stop being homesick!? (oh, and I tend to stay up late, and I have to go to bed early that night, any ideas on how to do that, too!? thanx!!!!!! ) :DWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
A good idea to avoid homesickness in this case would be to become really involved with the little kids!. Talk to them, for example, ask what their favorite tv shows are, or what kinds of games they like to play, do they like Disney movies, etc!. Also, play with them!. Teach them how to play singing/clapping/hand games, soccer, kick ball, whatever!. They'll start to really like you and look up to you-- sort of like an older sister or a cooler version of their mom!. By befriending the young'uns, you'll be accomplishing several important things: 1) you'll be too busy to remember to be homesick! 2) when the kids are playing with you and they're all happy, you'll feel really good and proud of yourself that you can handle little kids; 3) their mom will thank you for the help (trust me!!); and 4) you'll be so exhausted, you'll definitely be ready for an early bedtime!.
Before you know it, it'll be time to go home and you'll realize you had a really great time!. Also, the kids you care for will always remember what a great person you are and how neat you made them feel!.
Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Run around all day with the little kids and if and when they take a nap, call home and talk to your mom, tell her you miss her and cant wait to come home to her, but also emphisise on all the fun your having and how great it is to just have a change of scenery!. Im 23 and still get homesick for my mommy!. As for going to bed early, let the little ones and the freash air t othe trick for ya!. If they have animals(on a farm who dosent) ask to help with them and youll be nice a sleepy by sun down!. Good luck and have fun!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well, I know how you feel I slept over at my friend's house one day and I missed my own parents too!. Anyways, to get over being home sick you can call your mom and talk to her and see how's it going over at your house!. Don't always think of her, just do something you really like to get it off of your mind!. And how you can not stay up late is you can ummm!.!.!. wake up early (I know you might not want to do this and listen, you don't have to, trust me this is just a suggestion ok!?) And then later you might be exsausted and at night you will fall asleep on the bed and go to sleep like a baby!! Haha!. Hope that works for you! Well good luck! :) ~Annie~
P!.S!. This is another thing to get you all sleepy!. Grab a blanket and nice softy pillow and a book!. Sit on the couch, chair, or recliner and sooner or later you might get nice and sleepy including cozy!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know, I am 17 and I still get homesick when I'm away from my mom for a long time!. I guess you just think that you are going to see her shortly, and you're going to come back home to her after a little while, and try to make the best of the situation!. Force yourself to go to sleep!. Relax, and close your eyes, and just drift off for a while!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
that used to happen to me all the time!. i live in california and used to have to visit my dad in Arizona!. it made me sick how much i missed my mom!. just try not to think about home and do other things!. and the going to bed early thing, u dont have to be asleep, just sit in ur room and read a book, or draw or something untill u can sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The same thing happened to me a few years ago!. I went to Washington DC and I got really homesick because I was away for four days!. I live in Indiana now and it was a six hour drive!. It sucked but I had fun!. So what you have to try to do is make the best out of the time that you're there!. That's what I did and it really helped! =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tabitha,
Don't worry about being homesick when you are away!. It simply shows you that you still need your mom! Thank God! At your age you still should!. As far as a way to feel better !. !. !. make sure that you call your mom right before you need to go to bed !. !. !. and tell her how much you miss her! Us old moms need to know you still need us from time to time, too! And when you finish talking happily to your mom make sure you have a good book to read!. It will help relax you and it will be easier for you to fall asleep!
Don't ever feel bad about missing your mom! My older girls are 25, and 31 and they still call me nearly every day or I call them!. I'm on vacation, now and hadn't talked to my daughter for several days so I called her from where I'm vacationing and told her how I missed our talks since I've been gone (she missed me, too!)!. It always feels great to reconnect!. Maybe your mom misses you just as much and would love to hear from you right before your bedtime! Try it!
Good luck and I'll be praying for you!.
P!.S!. Enjoy being the older kid around all those little kids!. To them you are nearly a grown-up! LOL! ;-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are so cute! :))) Honey you are growing up and you miss your mom!. It isn't forever and it is ok that you miss her!. Tell your Aunt if you miss her and maybe you can call her and talk to her for a few minutes!. That should help some!.
Take along some hand held games or something to read or cards to play solitare or something else that you like to do!.
when you have to go to bed early that night take a little flashlight with you and play a handheld game or read or something for a while!. You will get tired sooner than you think!.
Do you have a MP3 or something you can listen to!? You can listen to music if nothing else!.
Take a journal and write about your feelings and thoughts that night or take some maze puzzles or crossword puzzles or word search puzzles or something else like that!.
You can also try to get up very early that morning you are going to your aunts!.!.then you will be tired when it is time for bed!
Most important thing is to have fun!. Your aunt seems to love you to want to have you spend the night so enjoy the attention and the love and don't feel left out!.!.!.!.be part of the family!
