My youngest moved out this weekend. I now have the house all to myself for the first time in my life. arty: (except for her cats that she can't take to her new apartment.) :shock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

I already changed the lock on the front door and boy is she mad!

[mommee]

I have no idea what that feels like and won't for a long time. I always "barge in" at my parents house. I still have the key to the front door :wink:. They enjoy the grandkids and I get to rest a little. I get to take a long well deserved nap.

Party time for you.

RebelDarlin, It was that way for my wife and I, but my step daughter is temporarily back and we have the grandson too. Her husband is in the Army. It's funny how they get mad when you change the locks, but like I've told them, you are always welcome to come by, as long as we are home.. The funny thing about that is, you need to search them going out the door, my MT. Dew would be gone all the time!

The reason the lock was changed was she came over here yesterday while I was at work , to color her hair, left a mess in the bathroom, and drank the last of the milk. When she showed up today to get her furniture I had already changed the lock. I haven't seen or heard from her in 5 days so I was pretty ticked off that she she comes here when I'm not home. She can come to MY home when I'm here!


Empty nest feeling? No! I've NEVER lived on my own and I'm looking forward to it! :wink:

I completely understand where your coming from :wink: ... it took a while but the 'empty nest' will set in ..... My daughter has been on her own for several years now ~ and now we're the best of friends. Either way ... enjoy yourself ... it is nice only having to wash a few dishes, less dirty laundry and no more complaning when you ask them to do a chore around the house :lol:

I know the feeling, we have had that happen to us, but were out of town at the time and their friends went through the medicine cabinets and drank a case of my beer. I don't mind helping the kids out here and there, but just taking things at will or abusing the stopped by and we are not home thing makes you mad as H*^L! Hope it smooths over for you.

I remember when mine left...it's been 10 years now. I missed my girls badly at first, but then I was always so busy, so I didn't have time to worry about it too much.

Man, neither of my girls would ever just barge in when I wasn't at home! I never did change the locks...we MOVED instead LMAO!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I remember when my oldest left....and now I look forward to youngest leaving (2yrs maybe???).

I've never lived on my own.....it'll be nice not to have to "answer" to someone else, so to speak.
