fleecy 16 Aug 12:46am, 16 Aug 2024 55,213 posts	0 fleecy Well done fetchie teens @Joopsy I get all 3 of those, I was sooo jealous when ds1 decided to head off to Japan, such an amazing adventure for him! I'll be happy to have my kids back home any time, we all get on so well now that we've navigated the peaks and troughs of those mid-teen years. As TeeBee says, it's more like sharing a house with a friend. Albeit one with questionable hygiene habits lol. But that's ok too, teaches you tolerance

larkim 16 Aug 8:03am, 16 Aug 2024 25,355 posts	0 larkim It's so bittersweet isn't it. We've just got back from a family holiday with all six of us, had the best time ever and reminded me how much these six people are my favourites in the world to be around. Then at the end we lose one back to his PhD hometown and yesterday help another confirm he'll be leaving the nest in mid September. I just wish their childhoods could last forever some times!!
LindsD 16 Aug 8:07am, 16 Aug 2024 69,357 posts	0 LindsD I will definitely miss her (provided she gets an accommodation place...) but it will be v.g. for my mental health to not have her in my space all the time.
