[quote=Anonymous]I was thrilled when my first left for college, for all the reasons others have stated. I was more ambivalent when number two left last week -- he was a PITA this summer and things are much less turbulent with him gone, and he's at a great school. At the same time, his departure is a reminder that I'm getting older and my children are leaving to become independent. I still have one more at home in HS. I have a feeling I may be a mess when it's her turn to leave. I'm preparing now by trying to look for interests and goals outside of my children. I realize DH and I have spent so much time on our kids that we're sort of at a loss for what else to focus on. I think this is a temporary problem, though. It will be fun to have more freedom! In the meantime DC3 still needs us, so can't switch into empty nester mode just yet.[/quote]
