What do you plan to do when your child leaves for college?
There is a very good thread here called " What do you do with an empty nest". Lots of suggestions and advice there.

This thread?? It’s a good one.
A good one, pinned at the top of the Café page:
@seal16 if you post on the one above that BunsenBurner posted you will get responses back- that one is “live” and gets revived especially in the summertime when people are about to become empty nesters!!!
It’s always good to read other people’s comments, but I know for me, I sometimes want the personal feedback and conversation in the moment that I’m having the problem!!!
Empty Nesters,
I have some advice for you: Enjoy it!! Because it may only last a few years!! 
Cry.
Maybe sell stuff on eBay, since I have enough in my own house to do it for awhile.
Pray they all turn out ok.
