[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I know it is natural for kids to make their own way. And I can get enjoyment from their excitement about launching (new apartments, first dates, etc). BUT, I can feel those things and still miss having little ones. I enjoyed that phase of my life and it has ended. Grief is not bad, it is part of life. OP, it is good for you to acknowledge it and be kind to yourself while you adjust. My kid is a little older than yours (just finished college). Half in and half out of the house (while seeking a job). What makes that hard is that EVERY comment or suggestion is perceived as nagging or criticism. Not the advice of a loving parent, who has more life experience. I always stress that decisions are hers to make, but it seems like everything out of my mouth irritates her. I don't get the sweet fun young women she shows others. That saddens me. [/quote]
