I don’t know how you survived the teen years. I’m not looking forward to them at all.

Awwww. I think it’s because science has proven that his frontal lobe has finally matured (happens for males around 23-25 compared to females around 18-20) so you are feeling the apron strings popping loose. That doesn’t mean he won’t still need you or want to talk to you or value your wisdom, you know. But . . . my Momma was remarking on my age the other day and she gasped when she realized I’d be 36 this year. I laughed and said, “Momma, I DID turn 35 last year, so this IS the natural progression.”, and still, she got weepy on me. So . . . I don’t expect you’re alone. I know just looking at my *gasp* almost 14 year old, I’m overwhelmed by the rate that time seems to fly by. Love and Hugs, R

I have 3 children all grown, and I understand your sentiment exactly!

I remember once, I had a friend who’s dog had a litter of puppies. They were all around, all the time, and one by one, she found them a home. I saw her one day and she had tears in her eyes, and I asked what was wrong. “I’m out of puppies, she cried”….

It’s how I feel sometimes…. “I’m out of puppies”

Just thought I’d share.

I am about to have one turn 18 in 4 mos. I haven’t figured out how to deal with that yet. My 25 y/o was 6 when I met him so I think that makes it a little easier on me. He also still acts like he’s 18. Then I have a 13 year old going on 18. So I often feel like I have 3 18’s at home and my hair is going to gray SOON.

I hope you get to meet my girls while you are here. Mabye I can have them stop by Thursday night. Mo think’s you’ll be exhausted but I think you’ll be full of adrenaline. What do you think?

Awwww….I understand, Donna. I do. My first born, my baby boy, is off to college in a month. Explain THAT to me, please. It was only yesterday that I stalked the kindergarten school bus on his first day of real school, in my minivan with two toddlers yelling how hungry they were, because I didn’t trust it to bring my baby home to me. So I followed it. Crazy? Oh hell yeah. Now…college. Away from home, away from me, away from being able to smell his head whenever I need a fix.

So move over, sister….I’m having a seat at your pity party. No more table for one!!

Don’t worry. My “babies” are now 28, 26, and 22 and at some point they still need their Mommy! It’s great too because once again like when they were little they realize that I do know more than them and now they truly appreciate it. Embrace them!
