[quote=Anonymous]Ha! We just sent a kid off to college. I resist saying, "enjoy this time it goes too fast" to parents of kids under 5 -- but it's there on the mind. The earlier years can feel like a bunch of 72-hour days, no doubt about it. But the physical exhaustion does pass. The hard parts of parenting change as your children grow. By the time our kid was 17, we barely saw her even when she was *in the house*. I understood it, though: she was gearing up to physically separate from us to be able to leave for college. Parenting is the process of slowly letting go. It starts out intense, eases up, and then they just slip away one day and leave.[/quote]
