[quote=Anonymous]OP, my eldest leaves in a year so not there yet but already sad about it. I KNOW all the stuff - it’s how it is, enjoy their success, indulge in hobbies, travel, etc. But I’m with you - I work in a professional career, I have friends, I’m sure parents will get closer as they become empty nesters, I can do hobbies/events… but DD is my best friend even if I’m not hers. And while I don’t tell her or show it, my heart is breaking that she will leave. Despite all the other things I do or can do with my time, none of it is as much fun as hanging out with DD- even just a walk and talk with her is more fun for me than a party or travel without the kids. All of life’s adventures are just more fun for me with my kids. So it will be a huge change. I’m sure it will be fine but it won’t be as much fun…for me. I know many folks don’t have that kind of relationship with their kids and miss their freedom but I don’t. Haven’t thought about it really but seen posters say that grandkids fills that void. Is there an empty nesters group somewhere?[/quote]
