Would mentoring a child be something you'd be interested in? There are lots of children out there who desperately need an adult to take an interest in them. I just saw "Mirror Mirror" with my 10-year-old mentee yesterday!

Give them lousy educations and make them unemployable, and they'll stay around your house forever!

I am so sad at the thought of my kids leaving, but leave they will in time. That is the goal of parenting. Buying a larger house will not keep them around, OP. Spend your money on nice family vacations instead. Your children will appreciate those more. I don't think you need counseling unless you are distraught at the thought of your children going to college. You may need to develop some more interests, however.

PP: You are so right. It's the cold hard truth. Your kids will avoid you if you are so needy.

*I'm a little sad DC1 will have to share us when DC2 comes along.
*Were you sad when you stopped BFing?
*Hard to leave the sad 2 yo at day care?
*The dreaded first dental appointment!
*Following the K bus to school?
*My kid's a teenager?!
*Off to college they go.
All heard on DCUM in the recent past. All sad to some. Others couldn't care less. Nothing requiring therapy.
