Re: bye bye -come back soon !
I have one twenty nine year old daughter, she lives with me. She has a good job in the NHS and has no intention of moving out.I enjoy her company so much, we go out together and holiday together. If the day ever comes that she leaves, I'd miss her so much.
She was chatting to a patient recently and he said to her, your mother has a lovely daughter, I can't tell you how much I agree with him.

Re: bye bye -come back soon !
Our situation is similar to Jem's. Our two children left home, went to university, lived in various places and had various relationships - eventually they both came back to their home town and settled down (sort of). We now have four grand children. My son is still married, but my daughter's marriage broke down and she was left with two young boys. These days, both my son and daughter live within easy walking distance from us - they are both financially independent and have mortgages. We see both families just about daily and our childcare duties are quite considerable. My food shopping has not diminished since they lived at home (in fact it is probably more expensive) and we have an open-house situation. Some days I feel taken for granted, but I would rather have things as they are than not to see them very often. All in all our house is still a very lively place and even though I get tired more easily these days I wouldn't have it any other way. Our home is their home.|
