Empty Nest

[Debbie]

Mine are 5 and 8.

Got a full nest for a while.

There may be a new addition soon too.

A new human? Congratulations.

Wife is still in her 40s, but not for long. I am only 52. We had kids kind of young for the most part. My oldest is 25.

Naked will be fun I hope.

We had a blast. Dinner were almost every night and we laughed during most of them. That's what I will miss the most.

Have family dinners once a month or whatever.

Are you a Grandparent yet? Being a Grandparent is amazing.

Intimate dinners with your loved one is great plus you can have picnics in your birthday suit in the garden.

Our son left home. You wouldn't know, aside from the biggest clue; the fridge is always full now, whereas it was always empty before...

Mine still gets raided. One is promising to bring his washing home. I said fine you know how the washing machine works and I can install a meter.

bluemuse, I hear you on the hot water.

Cold showers aren't always fun - especially in Winter. Invigorating maybe but
still cold. Teenagers go into la la land and use all the water till they get a cold shower.

The other thing I miss is their friends coming around. I never knew if I was going to feed 2, 3, 4, or a couple times 6 boys. Few moments are as much fun as having your kids and their friends all around the table laughing and being boys.

This sounds like my house. We had more than a few facebook pages made about our dinner table. Even now, after my son move back north 5 years ago, we still get a visit mostly around dinner time. They all know they are welcome.

In the future they better not come during naked time.

Family dinners will not happen. One is 800 miles, one will be 4 hours.

The last son I'm sure will come home on the weekends. The really cute GF is a year younger and they are very close friends. No drama and not possessive crap. Her parents are strict but realistic, and my son respects that, so she will not be up there on the weekends.

I can wait for the grand kids. My wife takes the 2 year old next door when they want to go out.

Better than the first time you can send them to the store to buy beer.

Holy shit I got to try that.
