[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe how much so many of you baby your kids and how selfish your kids are.  You need to loosen the apron strings and they need to stop thinking only about themselves.  Once they go to college, they are adults. They should not expect you to put your life on the shelf while they are gone.  Stop being martyrs and live your lives.   [/quote]

NP here.

What you said is definitely true.

But at the same time I want to keep seeing my children as often as possible.  So if I keep my current house, that would be out of my own self interest.

my kids all went to college OOS.  Two have landed jobs 2K+ from home.  The other is likely to be 3K+ from "home" after college.  We have a condo and a "new house" with space for everyone when they come for holidays/breaks.  If needed we will rent a nearby house as the family grows in future for those breaks.  But I'm not willing to keep a huge 5bedroom house for 1-2 weeks/year.  Our kids still come to visit and we always find space for everyone.  They love the new locations and are just happy to be together, since everyone lives in different places. [/quote]
