You should be so proud that your son chose to be a police officer and buy a house  I understand you being so sad though  : |

This is what I say.. Do you really want your grown son living with you forever? Did you raise him to be independent of you? I have a 23 year old son who moved out when he was 18. I was very happy for him that he could do that at such a young age (he's in the military). I had total loss of contact with him for 3 months. I was sad but I didn't go around boohoo'ing all the time.. I was incredibly proud of him. Was I sad.. Of course. I shedded a few tears, but believe me I would be shedding WAY more tears if he was living at home doing nothing. Be proud of him and let him start his adventures and don't be sad!! We did our job. Move on to other things!! |

Our house has been a revolving door ever since my son graduated from high school in 2011. My daughter graduated in 2013. Both of them went to out of state colleges, but generally came home for the summer.
Now my daughter is in grad school and my son is in law school and it seems like they are always coming and going. My daughter moved back in after college when she started her masters' program. Just about the time I got used to her being home again and was throughly enjoying her company, she got an internship in another state and moved out for over a year. Now she is back at home for her final semester of her master's program. She is not doing an internship this semester because she wants to concentrate on her capstone project.
She'll finish her master's program in May and start a job in another state. At the same time, her brother will be starting a summer internship in our city, so he'll be moving in with us for the summer.
I know I'm really going to miss my kids when the last one moves out for the last time, but I also know my husband and I will enjoy our empty nest since we've done it before.

Hmmm...I order if my mom cried. I never thought about it bc she seemed fine. I cried nearly every day. I wanted to go home. I actually still do 20+ years later.
