[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is going off to college in the fall, believe me, you will still be on parent duty.  You will see them at breaks, you will help them to figure out the logistics of getting to/from school, you'll most likely help them move into the dorm, you'll attend Parent Day...etc

It's not like your kid goes away to college and you stop being a parent.  Even after they are working and raising their own kids, you'll be involved to some degree as grandparents.

As for what you do when you no longer have to supervise your kid in the evenings.....go out and have fun.  Seriously.  Go to concerts, go out bar hopping, go out to dinner, take weekend trip to the beach.

What did you and your husband do together before kids?[/quote]

This.

My cousin and I are about the same age, but she doesn’t have kids. She and her DH regularly do nothing for holidays OR they might go on vacation for two weeks bookending a holiday. I can’t do that because my 26 year old still wants to visit for holidays and observe all the usual traditions. We tried a cabin one Christmas and it didn’t go over well. [/quote]
