milkandsugar,

Haha, Words of experience from a parent who has been there. I hope years later I will just think of the exciting part. I know it is tremendously so for sonny, but I am experiencing the “empty nest” syndrome, as well as some envy towards my own sonny.

I have wanted to move back to Manhattan for a long, long time. To think I grew up there, studied hard, worked hard and decades later, it is hard for me to afford a decent place there!

It is a time to celebrate both our children and our own new found freedom (from each other, hehe), but it is hard to step out of the mommy role so fast.

writestuff, I do hope your children, especially your son, are safe through this storm and in any other events to come. My son, an only child, is also excited about having a roommate and friends all around. He is very busy meeting and socializing with everyone. Hehe, he left me in the middle of an Ichat because he was socializing with friends! The kids are definitely into the excitement phase! And that is good; better that than their feeling homesick.
