[quote=Anonymous]My prents are both gone and I echo that feeling of stress worrying about their future and their death. Even knowing that health was failing did not prevent shock when happened. My kids are no longer babies - they range from 10 to 20. Much as I miss them always being here and needing me (I am really a baby and toddler person), there is something really nice about how your relationship changes. They need me advice and to teach them to drive and for learning how to adult (buying cars, budgeting, finding jobs). We have conversations every day. I’m still getting used to trips with only part of the family but it’s nice to have more time with the younger kids. Another thing is having time for hobbies. When you don’t have to constantly be on call, you have time for yourself. This coincides with having more vacation time due to longevity at our jobs and also with a bit more expendable income - minimal childcare costs but teens are expensive![/quote]
