[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel the opposite.. so sad to see my baby girl go.[/quote]

I was going to ask… does everyone feel this way? I talk to parents in real life who tell me they cannot wait for their kid to leave. My kid is a junior, and the thought of him leaving makes me so sad (of course I want what’s best for him, etc). Will I feel very differently in a year?[/quote]
I feel bittersweet.
 
On the one hand, I can't wait for them to leave so I can have my own life.  I can travel during the school year when flights are cheaper, and it's not as crowded.  I also want to redo the rooms and clean the house top to bottom.  Thinking of maybe renting it out or selling when the youngest leaves for college.  Neither of my kids are attached to the house.

On the other hand, I will miss them. I enjoy it when my DC comes home from college.  As they get older, our conversations have changed. We talk more about adult things, and it's pretty neat to see them grow into adults.[/quote]
