This morning, I. went off with school on her 5 day pony trekking trip to Wales. She'd been looking forward to it for months and went off smiling. So I must have done alright as a parent.
So how come it feels so empty at home?
I just hope by the time she's 18 and ready to leave home, I'm as ready to let her go as she was this morning for her trip.
You have obviously done a marvelous job as parent, be proud of that and rely on that you are so tired of having an almost-grown-up-kid at home the day she moves that it will be a releafe :-) Seriously, it is a hard time but after a very short while one realise that you instead of having a kid, have got a new friend that is wonderful to see now and then!
ReplyDeleteTake good care of yourself!
My oldest moved out two years ago, when he was 16, I don't miss him terribly, butit's really nice when he comes home for the holidays!
