I remember when my boys were small. They would tell me that they were going to live with me forever. As they got a little older, they said they would buy a house next to mine. As each year progressed they seemed to want to be farther away, across town, in the same state, across the country, and when really angry...out of the country.
H had to sit out his senior year due to some medical issues. When talking about going back to school to finish up, he said he was going to get his GED and move to Oregon (we live in Florida). I was devastated! Then I was thrilled when he decided to go back and repeat his senior year (in state).
A plans to stay home for the first couple of years of college. It will save money, and let him save up for his dream school in NYC!
I was thinking about that the other day. H & A both want to leave me one day. What is up with that? I am awesome! I am so much fun! I am a GREAT mom! And then it hit me...I AM a great mom, that is why they feel safe enough to leave home. I may have to give A a little push, but he'll be ready when it is time.
I'll admit, I am scared for when they will be gone and on their own. Not for them, but for me!
I will need to find something to do...maybe I'll start dating!
