    I knew this day would finally come!

    I've got 2 kids...21 and 19. Both live at home. My 21 year old daughter is moving out in a few days to live with her partner...and I'm incredibly sad.

    I'm not one of those parents that wants their kids out as quickly as possible...I just love having them around. Fills me with happiness...and the thought of an empty house...well it just makes me sad.

    I know it's an exciting time for her...and I'm putting on a happy front...and I know it's all just the circle of life and all that.

    But... :(

    • We love our friends. There are a few friends with kids about the same age as ours and we agree how much fun it would be to live together when we’re old

    • It says that 75% of all the time you will ever spend with a child is complete by the time they reach 12 years old.zaq
    • And by the time they turn 18, well, 90% of your parent-child time together is already spent. :(zaq
    • My sister and brother have moved back to sheffield / derbyshire area recently and its given mum and dad SUCH a boost with all the grand kids being aroundDaveO
    • Our last grandparent died this year and i saw them looking super listless and lost, but then they now have their own kids back around and three grandchildrenDaveO
