[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been empty nest full time for the last year or so - everyone out of college.

Embrace it! Take back up old hobbies or new ones, enjoy a weekend free of activities, enjoy the new rhythm of weekdays that don't involve activities/dinner/homework, etc. Stop feeling obligated to cook dinners and marvel at how much cleaner your house is without teenagers. Have way more time for uninterrupted and unscheduled sex!

Of course you will miss them, but we have absolutely enjoyed the freedom. It is a next chapter for sure. [/quote]

I could have written the above- this is just what it’s been like for us.

And, OP, I was very concerned about what an empty nest would be like, because I really, really liked being a mom and felt really good about how I parented for all those years. I was afraid I’d be soooo sad without my kids around.

But, you know, they still visit and spend time here. And it really is a joy to see the kind of adults they’ve become and all the things that they’ve done.

And, frankly, finally having the ability to have a lot of uninterrupted and unscheduled sex is fantastic! 😉
