[quote=Anonymous]Do you think you are really empty nester with nothing to do? LOL. Honey, it lasts less than 6 months to a year in my case and the case of my friends.

As soon as my kids went to college, I was busy like hell -
- Providing care to the elderly family members. 
- The kids were back each summer for internships, jobs, WFH etc and the house was full again. And I was not driving the schedule so it was mini chaos. 
- Decluttering home.  Getting home repairs and maintenance done.   
- Prepping for kid's job moves, prepping for weddings, prepping for births, 
- Providing childcare to grandkids
- Medical care, health for DH and I
- Travelling
- Swedish death cleanse beginning, minimalism
- Getting in touch with family and friends. 
- Putting all our legal affairs in order. 
- Exercise and good nutrition for DH and I. 
- Volunteer.

Being a SAHM was easy. There was some sense to the daily routine.  Being an empty nester is Fake News. You are just pulled into being a all-purpose help provider to parents, siblings, kids, neighbors, friends.
