[quote=Anonymous]What scares me is I have been so focused on my family and not myself for so long (same situation as you, no help), and now as an empty nester, I don't feel like that's changed. The one thing I've done is exercise more and even that is being really challenged now with Thanksgiving and winter break coming: I work ft and it's so hard to do that, cook, clean, host and still prioritize myself because I run out of steam. So for people who are true empty nesters with kids out of college, does it feel more like you have time for yourself as a person? Or is it just a case of becoming a bit selfish and asserting these needs, at the risk of being less maternal, not as good a grandma some day? [/quote]
