Chick leaving the well feathered nest....

Last night my gorgeous, eldest son slept in his new home for the first time....and I so felt it here at home...lol

My son, Brendan is 21 years old, so he certainly is old enough to branch out on his own.  It's only natural.  But of course I worry and keep having teary moments...lol

We still have our 18 year old at home, who wants to move out too...arghhhhhhhh...I keep having to tell myself it's not because we are awful parents, it's because we've instilled independence into them. 

Of course not all of his stuff is gone, his room looks like a bomb has hit it (normally quite tidy)....Everytime I walk past his room I'm reminded he has moved...

I'm looking forward to the mature relationship that my friends tell me we will develop now..I am already seeing it.  He popped in last night to grab some more things, and for the first time in ages, he came over to me and gave me a hug goodbye.  Normally I have to go up to him...hahaha

To help me cope with all of this, I printed off loads of photos of his dad and I and hid them all over his flat...lol...He thinks he has found them all, funny enough, he has kept them in their hiding places....lol

How have other people coped with their babies flying the coop?

Date: 4/9/2013 2:09:00 AM  From Authorid: 42945    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...  
Date: 4/9/2013 5:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 15228    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.  
Date: 4/9/2013 11:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 998    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.

Empty nest syndrome? Not here. They are all still close though. The oldest one, with the grandbaby, lives within walking distance to our house.  
Date: 4/19/2013 3:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 46486    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.
