[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it is easier? depends. In terms of time spent ferrying kids, worrying about day to day stuff, yes much. You have nothing but free time when they leave (which I hate). But there always seems to be something to worry about with kids, even college kids. For me, I worried would my introverted DS find friends? Would my extraverted DD party too much or get her heart broken (which it did many times). Will they stay away from drug and stay focused on school? Will they be safe?  will they get a good internship, will they get a good job, where will they live after graduation?  The worries never really end but it is much less part of your minute by minute reality.[/quote]

Oh god. I am a TOTAL over-analyzer.  My brain goes non-stop.  I go to worst case scenario a lot of time...but I have zero of those ^ worries.  No worries when kids are away.  My oldest is 'old' for the grade, will turn 19 end of September as a Fall bday cutoff so he is more than ready to be on his own, and well prepared.[/quote]

I am the original PP of that post this person responded to. My kids did fine by the way, as I mostly knew they would. Didn't mean I didn't worry. Did it occupy my mind all day, absolutely not. But am I just forgetting about them while they are not here, no.[/quote]
