Hi Pat Children are only lent to us, we have to let them move on and do things they want to do, but I think this is a good move, you will get used to her being away and you can always meet up with her sounds like you are not living too far away. Sue

Pat, You will be fine ((((big hugs))) she will only be a phone call away......Daughters are best friends in disguise.

Both of my sons moved out 6 years ago to share a house together because we were moving 70 miles away and they didnt want to leave their jobs or friends. They shared a house together. Eldest moved back four years ago, moved out again last year when he got a new job in Sheffield. I agree that even the untidiest, smelly teens can change when it is their own place !! You never do get used to peeling less spuds though. Libby x

Hi Patricia It takes a little getting used to. My eldest left home at 19 got himself a flat but brought the dirty washing round once a week. I usually had a couple of Casseroles in freezer for him to take home too. How stupid are us parents lol My youngest son never moved from home until he bought his own house 6 months before he got married. He always said Mum I like it here at home I know which side my breads buttered lol. Both boys are great cooks and never did starve themselves although I still get the odd phone call even after 10 years saying what you cooking for dinner Mum. But love to have them home for a meal with their wives and children. Yes Patricia you do get used to it, but I'm sure you will always be there for her if she needs you. Regards Jackie

I am sure she will be fine Pat, but i understand how you are upset. Not having a daughter (only 3 son's ) i should think it is worse when they move out especially on there own. You have the phone and by the sounds of it she is not too far away. Just think of not having to clear up behind the dog. Val x

((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) my eldest son moved out in May, I miss him dreadfully, but I don't miss the arguments between him and my daughter lol. Sue
