[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding? I bolted so quickly from Williamsburg the second I dropped off my kid (also -- single mom).

I scheduled a girls trip that first week in Vegas with friends. Had a freaking blast. I'm still working and there's plenty of life left in me. I'm 38 and ready for this next chapter! I have a trip to Paris planned and I've already sold my Arlington house and bought a low maintenance row home in the city. It's fantastic!

I don't really know how to feel about your post and your overwhelming joy at sending your kid to college. It just rubs me wrong. Was your DD like a nightmare teen? There is nothing wrong with doing things for yourself, just the opposite, but something just seems off about this.[/quote]
There's nothing off about it. She has been parenting every minute of every day by herself. She obviously did a fine job--her child is at college, on a full ride. She spent her 20s being a mom and now it's time for her!
I say there's something more "off" about a mom who can't function normally because they miss their child. As if the child exists to meet the parents' emotional needs. [/quote]
