I can't imagine. I am having a hard time knowing I will have to let Joey start kindergarten next year. Not sure why I am having such a difficult time with it. I don't look forward to how much worse I'll be when they are ready to move out.  |

When my eldest son left home I was devastated lol...didn't want him to go but he wanted his independance, he had finished his trade apprenticeship and had saved money and was quite able to cook and do the laundry himself..I had taught that to my kids at an early age when I got very ill one time and spent a lot of time in hospital, so when I came out, instructions became matter of fact for my kids...when the second son left home he had finished his trade apprenticeship also and wanted to run his own race...in between those two my daughter had got married..so Ted and I found ourselves all alone..and it was hard at first, but we both threw ourselves into our own jobs lol...We got used to it fairly quickly LOL we had a life to ourselves and could do what we wanted, go where we wanted without having to worry about "oh we have to be home for the kids". They are all married now and the visits are greatly appreciated, we love our kids no matter what but they need to find their own path in life...  |

My eldest daughter didn't leave until she got married, but she was gone so much before that, I didn't really feel it. In fact, I see her more now then I did when she lived at home.  |

My grade school sweetheart and I got married very young, and started our family. We only had one daughter, and we always looked at her as a loaner. Like God had loaned her to us, so we could raise her with the best of morals and values we could instill into her. Then we knew that she would be off on her own life and we would be back to our life together. I really believe that it was much harder on our daughter when she flew away from the nest. She wanted her grown up freedom, but she felt lonely at the same time. I think she didn't like seeing her old bedroom taken over as an office for her dad either. The great thing is that no matter how far away from home they move .. the same love is still there. You are right too Aussie Girl, the relationship does mature .. and that is a good thing.  |

Just recently we had number 4, the baby move out to finish her last couple of years at college. My wife and I couldn't be happier. Empty nest syndrome? Not here. They are all still close though. The oldest one, with the grandbaby, lives within walking distance to our house.  |

I'll be 28 this year and I was about 23 when I moved out of my moms, moved to a different state on my own and when I had to move back home my mom and I had a different and stronger relationship.  |
