[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so ready. I feel like my kids cannot wait to leave and are so sick of us. It's upsetting. I am hoping we will miss each other when they are away.[/quote] You sure will miss each other. This age requires physical distance and emotional independence so kids can grow into self sufficient adults. [/quote] Was it hard before that? Did you feel "not close" to your teens? [/quote] DP. DH and I thought we'd have no ongoing relationship with DC because the HS years were so strained. There was intense separation from our teen toward homelife. The first trip home, DC was still kinda cool, but after first semester on, DC seems really comfortable having both life at school and being happy to be home. Our relationship definitely rebounded.[/quote]
