Guess I'm getting old and set in my ways but I love it when my grown children come to stay for a while but I'm also glad when they are ready to leave. Is there something wrong with me. I do love them dearly but things become so chaotic. I hope I'm not the only person who feels this way!
It's good to have this avenue to unload when I feel frustrated. THX

I am a young daughter not out of the house yet becasue well, I'm 13. But I know that letting children go is a way of life to let go of something knowing that they are still close to you. Also, children need more independance when grown up.
You should be happy hat they are gone not for the sake of it but knowing that they are finally knowing how to live independatly but with your supoprt. Love and sometimes money. LOL

It's worse when they all come at one time, but yet it is fun,
then it's time to go home, and Mom & Dad collapse. The
way I look at it, I may not be here much longer and then are
they going to look back and have pleasant memories? Yes,
indeed, I do like to see them go home, but when it's time
for them to come again, I'm ready.

Thats funny because my parents live in another state so when i do get to see them i usually stay for a week or more.
But the tables get turned when they come and stay at my house.
Our goodbyes go like this
" I love you guys, Thanks for coming, but really, Thanks for going"
