IT'S HOT OUT THERE ! Had to come in for some cool.

[mimi]

I had to start this thread so I could be

TOP !

It's been a while.

[evs]

sweet!:))... oh i needda get out..

[evs]

but on topic. - i am not complaining but - i miss my teenage son:) he's so big and independent now and wants to be with his friends all the time and i miss him every time he walks out the door.. i have to get used to it already, it's just taking a while. i feel like i'm stuck in time and space:)

[Blurt]

Teenage son?

[evs]

haha!.. yeah i have a 14 year old baby too:)

On topic:

But... but... how?

edit: Never mind.

[evs]

little babies don't really help cept they keep me busy and that's always good. but with this on my mind, i often catch myself missing the little ones in advance - imagining them as teenagers and thinking how they'll be the same as the oldest one because - that's so natural and i keep hurting myself like that.. instead of enjoying the "now" with them and their soft chubby cheeks and the fact that they still need me and will be needing me at least another 10 years or so.. live is life. where's that youtube.

lol.. serious brain malfunction here. had twenty thoughts arrive on my mind at the same time and all i wanna do now is sleep:)

[evs]

one more thought tho - to all my friends who know they don't want children.. it's a world of hurt having them but it's a world of nothingness not having them.. does that make sense?

Awwwww..........wish I could give you the hug you deserve, and I would'nt even take advantage of the situation by grabbing your ass while doing it. I'm sure that the only thing sadder than having children grow up and strive to be independent, needing you less every day, is when they don't. It's the nature of things, and the lad's desire to become a young man in his own right is proof that you've been a good parent and prepared him well.

[dick yamada]

Yup, sounds right.

Nicely put Loch.

Finally, summer is here!

I've been stuck inside all day doing laundry after having a hard time getting out of bed. Yesterday I tried on the only pair of shorts I thought would fit me. They don't fit so I'm going to go buy some in a bit after this last load of laundry is done. Hubby needs some new ones too so I'll see what there is for him. He doesn't want me to buy him some but I told him he's not allowed to go running around naked, he could get arrested and then who would help do the dishes?

[evs]

thanks guys:)..

isn't that like life - you won't know you had love unless you lose it?

You haven't lost love, but it does indeed change over time; just think of your own relationship with your mom and dad.

[mimi]

thanks guys:)..

I think people know when they have love. It's just that we don't appreciate how vital it is until we lose it.

And also...when children who were loved leave the nest...it isn't losing love....it's them going out into the world to perpetuate it. =)

No! Don't talk about painful transitions. Please.

Never had any kiddies, m'self. Now too old for 'em.

Regardless, I send hugs your way, Bbobobobobbb.

[evs]

yes.. i keep thinking about that too. and i keep remembering how at some point i had to leave their house, it wasn't an option, they were suffocating me so bad just by being them and not that they were doing anything bad in particular..

history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce?:))

yes!!.. that's it.. i know. maybe what hurts is us not being able to perpetuate anymore so - directly?:)) dunno..

it's a skill needed to develop - live through others as if it's your own life but make no demands and enjoy the ride for all that it brings.

aw. thanks mi's:)).. gotta go&do, that usually helps.

[evs]

ps. love captains new avvie:).. so - smoochable:))

[Annie]

It's nice when they leave the nest, but at the same time it's sad. Because they're missed. My oldest is 19 and he moved out (again) last month. I miss having him here for dinner all the time BUT I don't miss having to pick up after him. It's nice when they can make their own way in the world but as parents we still worry.
