Ha;Not a bit
-
I'd think the parents would be happy. No one getting on their nerves, peace and quiet
-
You can't be along when they move out. That would negate the purpose;)
-
No. I will be glad when she is mature and secure enough to move out. I don't see much of her now. I have lived alone before and I'm comfortable living by myself.
-
Even if we don't have kids, we're always along. I do get along just fine and I'm sure empty nesters would have some time to get over the shock at having no one in the house anymore but that can also be new found freedom for them. They'll get along just fine I'd imagine.
-
Nope, the kids rarely leave the fish tank.
-
The thought petrifies me
-
ROFLL.. i don't have any kids but i'm afraid about when my cat will die :(
-
Most definitely. I'm hoping I'll have a solid realtionship with a s/o by then.
-
Not at all..........I love living by myself and I'll never be alone regardless of where my daughter is.
-
Isn't everybody afraid of being alone when they're old?
-
I was at the beginning, but I believe I brought up my only son well, he is caring and is always around. I have worked with this issue and came to understand they are like the birds, in the nest till they grow strong wings to fly on their own. Regards.

I will miss my boys very much and that solitude will definitely be an adjustment. However, I will enjoy my husband's and my time together again too. He and I have a different relationship when the kids are gone on spring break or something. We always re-connect and have a great time like we did when we were first married. I think the big adjustment for me will be missing my kids and trying to sustain this new life without them being the center anymore.
-
At first, it was very hard, not having them here, but after a few months, I grew to love it. Back to being just me, again. I do everything, that I have always wanted too do, now. **My boys stop by the house or call almost everyday still.***

No, No .... Nope. unhuh , <shakes head no> In fact, I'm going to slide home and start prepacking a few things, now that you mention it. I've got most of them gone now, and the future's looking very bright! I actually enjoy spending adult time with the ones that are gone, and look very forward to them coming for a visit. Your kids really can't be your "friends" until they understand what it is like to pay all of the bills, do all the cleaning, and fix all the meals.

If you're like us, our kids started moving out 12 years ago and it's been a revolving door ever since!!! I know if I move out, I won't come back.. What can you do, tell your kids no? We can't...But, we always give them a timeline and they must pay, Im not their maid any longer...That ship has sailed!!! I would really like to have the house to ourselves for at least a year though.
-
Nope. I'm planning on selling my house, buying an RV, and finally travelling. Plus, this plan ensures they don't think they can move back home at any time after they are grown.
-
No, as long as my hubby is still here!! We have so many plans made for when that time comes, places to visit, things to do, im sure we wont have the time to fit everything in!!!
-
I thought I would be but I'm not. It took some adjusting but I'm fine.
-
No, now a new chapter begins with ME.
-
no mine have left but keep coming back.
-
A little, because they are totally the center of our lives now. Will my husband and I still know each other? What will I do with my time? I know I want them to stay close and be around a lot, but as long as they do that I am looking forward to having freedom. Haven't had that since college days, and not really even then!
-
no way, I look forward to the time alone with my hubby
-
Heart broken and lonely! No one and no one can fill the spaces and corners in our heart and home those belongs to the kids. Our little angels loaned and trusted to us by God and once they find the wings, they fly!
-
NO!!!
