[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - they live 120 miles away so drivable. We have plenty of hobbies. I was just struck by the fact that we did all that for them so they could launch effectively, and I seem to be surprised that they did. They all prefer their own homes and I get that. Coming home for them isn't as fun as it used to be I think. [/quote] Boats are not built to stay in the harbor. It is hard but the fact that your kids are independent is a sign you did a good job! [/quote] This. Raising kids is not a tit for tat exchange, it’s a pay it forward situation. You did all of that for your kid because your parents did it for you. They will do it for their kids if and when they have them and hopefully instead of feeling jealous of their future partners and children, you will feel joy and satisfaction knowing that they are able to show love to others because you loved them.
