[quote=Anonymous]Congratulations on being a great parent and getting to this point (I have high schoolers I worry about every day but can see myself in your shoes once I get them launched; I totally validate your feelings. It’s like any transition I think. When my kids left preschool I would feel said driving by it; same with elementary and middle- my kids are close in age). Thinking back to my young adulthood…. I enjoyed my parents coming to got me and taking me out to nicer dinners / theater than I would have been able to afford on my own. They never offered trips but if they had, I am sure I would have been delighted! I did return for Christmas holidays through my 20s. (Thanksgiving was never a huge holiday in my family so I didn’t always do that). Maybe the summary advice is that it’s okay to mourn. And then to strategize about what you and your DC liked the best to do together (travel? Time at home?) and offer that as a way to spend time. [/quote]
