Tink must admit I was gutted Christmas before last when one of my sons announced he would be spending it by the coast with his girlfriend's family.
I put a brave face on it, told him to have a brilliant time, and missed him like hell.
Then cried like a baby when he phoned me to say Happy Christmas, because he was in tears and was wishing he hadn't gone!
You have to let go though, just make sure that its what you want x
Well mabye in a while mark dont want to go all serious but id love too and he dosent do christmas!!!!!
Yeah slinky you miss them im sure id miss my family too but it would b soooo good to be chilling in sun and its not mega expensive honest! Dearer yes but not overley depending on where xx
Isn't it just chi-chi, thats what parents are for, to bring their children up to be confident enough to leave the nest and make their own way in the world, no matter how much you will miss them :)
Not forgetting that sometimes they will boomerang back, just as you think that they are successfully launched!
My youngest is moving out this year and has told me he will be spending xmas just the two of them, at5 the moment I dont mind at all but Im sure xmas day it will be a different story, lots of tears... esp as we will have mum in law instead!!!! Im bah humbug at xmas anyway dont like it and would love to fly off somewhere hot!
Neither (had I a child that is). A little sad that the tradition of families getting together didn't hold much value for them, but that's life these days. Everyone does their own thing and families take a back seat.
