I'm a little sad today

[skymama 37]

My son turned 18 today. My baby isn't my baby anymore, he's a MAN.

Geez, those years went by fast. I am now the mother of 2 adults!

The downside is that I don't quite know what to do with myself without having children to raise. That has been my main focus in life for the past 20 years. They need me, but they don't need me anymore.

The upside is that I don't have to worry about setting a good example anymore, right?

It's a mother's job... nay, responsibility, to embarrass her children. That never ends. Carry on...

Thank you for doing a good job. Oh and I don't tell moms to set a good example anymore so yea, fly be free.

The will always need you on some level.
Take pride in the way you raised them.
Then go out and raise some hell.

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

Congratulations! Hard work to raise kids, but you're done now. I still have 17 years to go, but looking forward to all of it

be happy

not sad...
If your kids are safe, healthy, happy and well adjusted.... then YOU did a fine Job..

( Hey !!! how did the soccer match(es) go???)



The more Important question,, NOW is,,,,
When is he going to make a tandem Jump???, where YOU can dock on them????


OR has he ALREADY done that??

Children will ALWAYS "need" their parents,,, IF the parent(s) have done a correct job,,, during the chiildhood....

and.. NEED, is not the same,,, as. "will have to be supported by",,,
It means that They understand responsibility, Know what hard work is, and can always go to Mom or Dad, for advice, for counsel, and to share accomplishments...

signed a satisfied Dad...

P.S> How can someone who LOOKS like she's 27??? have two kids who are over 18???

Damn! He's a little hottie!!

He graduates this year, right??

Just kidding.

Always be kinder than you feel.

[billeisele 130]

so far so good but it is not over yet, letting go is gradual process

be careful what you wish for or you could have something to worry about

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

I still call my Mom about stuff - doing taxes, advice about work, etc... I will ALWAYS need my Mom, it doesn't matter what age I am!!!!

Be thankful that you are able to see your son turn 18; not every parent gets to do that (either b/c something happened to the parent or to the child).

But the most important thing is that she still retains the title of "Her Hotness"

Wow...looks like a real ne'er-do-well there! Congratulations!

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

He's already done a tandem and we did dock, which was a feat in itself since my belly flying skills are a little rusty!

Thanks for the compliment Jimmy, and the well wishes from everyone else. He really is a good boy young man; Captain of the soccer team, 4.0 GPA, was accepted to 2 college soccer programs (he's still finalizing where he wants to go), is the kind of guy who would help an old lady cross the street and still isn't embarrassed to kiss his ol' mom in public.
Turtle, now that you're smoke-free I'll be right over for that hug.

And Lucky, that's just wrong!

Congrats. My son also turned 18 this year. It's an eye-opener for sure. Seems like it went by so fast. But, we're not done yet by a longshot. There'll still be times when they need the 'rents.

Please don't dent the planet.
