It was the best time ever and, as much I love them, I long for that time to come again.

Feeling guilty

Where are they?

MilkywayMonarch22 · 29/08/2021 22:09

Where did they go for 9 months and why? (Hope that's not rude!)

Kintsugi16 · 29/08/2021 22:14

University

Lucky you...mine are driving me mad. Looking forward to them returning to school!

Mums with primary age children will be checking into this thread to live vicariously through you and be disappointed we have to wait 10+ years.

Honestly
I would go to work and come back to find the house as I left it.
The fridge was full
It was so good

Did they all stay at their universityaccommodation the whole time? Last academic year?

MilkywayMonarch22 · 29/08/2021 23:10

Ahhhhhh ! I thought you'd meant small children, only another 17/18 years to go for me then 😂

The days where I came home to the house the way I left it, is a distant memory 🤣

Only 12 years for me then- if child wants to go to uni that is.

I think thats perfectly reasonable statement. My tweens spent a fortnight at their dad's and it was great to come and go as I pleased, have the house the same as I left it etc. He rarely has them so I appreciate the 'time off'. People always seem shocked that I don't miss them but I have them 99% of the time so I'm not going to apologise for it.

@DoctorDoctor

They were just home for Christmas, different years but an overlap.

I do love having them back home really though, just remember that it was so easy for a while
