Very interesting. Sometimes parents just don't get that their children grow up over time.  |

Well, I am one of those teenagers maturing into my own self, my own life. Trying to make my future a sucessful one. I know when my mom gets upset about me making my own life and leaving home that it is only because she loves me, and I try to reasure her that I am not going far and that I love her more than she will ever know. Sometimes parents need that UMPH of reassurance when they are going through the "empty nest syndrom" and the more understanding I am, the more understanding she will be, because she will know that no matter what I will always be close :)  |

Hi Mom! Great post! I did that unintentionally
as well. It's just that from experience we know
that the world is a great big scary place but, Love
and concern can sometimes smother our kids.
xoxoxoxoPeace and Love,  |

Im sure I will be broken hearted when my little girl leaves the "nest" It wont be easy but its all a part of life. As long as she doesnt more far away from me!  |

Many mixed emotions, our greatest job as a parent is helping our children become ready for this big step, and it is heartbreaking but hopefully we have succeeded in helping them move on into the future with confidence.  |

Oh yes, I can relate. I felt and still do at times, that my babies need me even though they are
in their 20's. But they are teaching me that letting them go on to becomes true adults doesn't mean the love we have will ever stop. I feel pride in them that they have turned out to be great adults that are independant but still occaisonally need me still, if only to make me feel that they do. LOL!  |

I can relate but to be honest I was happy when my son left.. not happy for me but for him. All his life whatever his interest I would encourage him to pursue it, even when he wanted to be a mortition I brought him to the funeral home so he could learn more. Then he decided he wanted to be a builder and be in the service, this to I encouraged and today he is a Builder for the US Navy so yes I cried when he left and today I cry for the fact that he is happy. I miss him bad but I too am happy, happy for him.  |
