They leave you. I had many years of bliss with my babies. And they are doing SO well. But they bugger off! My Daughter is in Australia and my son is in America. This isn’t how I thought my life would pan out.

God, I hope mine does.

Not because I want him to go of course, but I want him to make the most of his life, see the world.

I have lived in the same place all my life, had DS when I was 18, haven't done anything in life apart from parent. I hope DS has some adventures.

My mother used to say that your children are only on loan to you.
