"Empty Nest" Survey - Just For Fun

None for me. I absolutely would not want to watch them perform in sports or otherwise. Watching them for me is stress inducing, I truly do not understand the appeal ( I know I’m in a minority). When our daughter played tennis I was the “ bad mom “ who never went to a game. But, in any event, she and her sister mostly were involved in activities where parent observation was not an option at our school: debate, mathletes, quiz bowl etc…
In many ways I think this made the transition to an empty nest easier than for parents whose lives revolved around their kids sports.

  1. I’m not a big vacation person. Many of my friends still vacation with adult children. That’s a hard no from me. My idea of a vacation, relaxing and eating out, is boring to my kids.

  2. I’m thrilled I never need to go back to the toddler years.

I would love more family nights at home, playing a game or ordering in. But my kids don’t live that close. It’s a rare occurrence when we can do that.
