Well, my daughter is leaving in less than a month now. It feels odd. I went to see the new place with her the other day and it all became real, somehow.
That's a very bittersweet occasion for both of you :hug:

It's horrible, and it's wonderful.
Exactly that. The kids and I were recently talking about me being an empty nester and what that would look like for me. On one hand, I'm looking forward to being to devote some solid time to myself and not having to be juggling everyone else's needs and schedules. On the other hand, I always sleep better when all of my kids are home and THAT will be a huge issue for me to try to find my new norm with.

My wife always asks me to stay up until both kids are back home. Not sure what will happen when the daughter moves out.

Your wife already asked you. You will stay up until your daughter returns home.

With my daughter heading off to college and moving in with two (read that AGAIN ... TWO!!  FFS) room mates, I will probably do that exact thing for a while.

She is only moving across town next month with her "friends".  Why is this so hard?

My daughter is 11. On the weekend I heard her telling our puppy that when she moves out the puppy is coming with her.

I'm hoping that isn't reflective of any plans in the near term.

My daughter is 23. When I was her age, I wasn't anywhere near the kind of maturity she is displaying even though I left home when I was 19.

I like her priorities though. Definitely bring the puppy.

Welcome back, Jesse
Oh thank you so much. I always think about this place, I try to stay off the internet now but I do get on it from time to time.

Been tryin' to get a life but it's proven to be a formitable foe. Been basically chilling, trying not to watch the news because it's such bad news but hey.  :laugh:

Hope youre doing good Phoenix. Nice to see you again

I am notorious for leaving this place for months at a time, although thinking of it often, and then returning again before I disappear. So I get it.

I suspect more will return since we're all basically housebound and various levels of bored.  :laugh:
