Sorry, I can't relate.

I feel that my time with my children is fleeting and there's nothing I want more than be with them as a family. 
My oldest is 13. Soon he'll be off to live his own life. I cherish the moments we have together.

Do you feel guilty for going out one night (dinner, drinks) or spending a weekend away with your friends?[/quote]

One night, no, actually I have one planned for next week. They are few and far between. But I would not enjoy a weekend away from my children. I MISS my children when I am away from them, just as they miss me. Guilt doesn't come into it.

You need to work on cutting the cord. It's a wonder they can even make it through the school day without you![/quote]

Actually, I don't. You are out of line for suggesting it. Do I criticize you for living your life? No. My parents were like this with me, many of my friends' parents were like this too, and we are all happy, functioning adults. 
My father left Asia to live in Europe, I left Europe to live in America, my kids will perhaps leave this continent for another one. Perhaps we would not be as mobile, independent and successful if we were raised another way.

You need to accept that different families have different ways of being happy. [/quote]
