GAH! I just chopped off a limb and left it in student halls 3 hours away. How many Boost and Star bars am I allowed per hour?

DD2 has shut herself in her room with loud music.
Might buy a puppy.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Omg I feel your pain.
I am missing mine dreadfully. So excited for them, but by god I miss her.

Wait till they go to Australia for a term.

Feeling the same way x

Feel a bit that way too, even though I am pretending not to 😥

Mine has come home for the weekend and tbh I missed him more when he was a rose tinted memory 😜

Stupid thing was that I was trying so hard to keep it together that I didn’t give her a goodbye that was any different from a sleepover. I wish I’d been a bit creepy and hugged her tighter.

You are such an amazing mum! Your kids are lucky to have you. Sounds like you have done a grand job and they know you love them. Let her know you miss her, I promise it won’t creepy, I would have given anything to have that type of message of my mum.

She likes 45 minute showers and full pints of tropicana orange juice. I’m trying to see the upsides. 🙂

her teddy is on her bare mattress in her room. I wish I could breathe better.

Hey Hotsweatymumsspagetti

i hope you didn’t have too hard of a time - it’s difficult to know from your post if she was distant or difficult.

Yesterday I dropped my youngest off for his second year. I saw him 33 hours ago. It feels like days. I'm home alone with just the dog and cats. He's number three to go to uni, I have two at unis and one living away and working, and I tell myself it is fine. I did my job. I got three to uni who are all doing well. But what do I do now?! I miss mumming on as daily basis.

Same. It's been a week. He's my only child. He's having a great time and I have to pretend that I'm fine

I hear you! DS1 is 400 miles away over seas and DS2 has decided that he wants to dress as a girl ffs

It absolutely sucks. I used to mope round the supermarket when mine first went. Mourning what I didn't need to buy.
One of mine is now in another bloody country with a baby of their own. It's bloody awful tbh. But that's what we signed up for. That's our job well done and we are still employed just for remote working 😁

Today is worse. There was a muller rice in the fridge. Nobody wants rice pudding for breakfast other than her. She’s gone.

I feel your pain.

Her room is empty. She left the toy monkey I bought for her pram all those years ago on my bed. I found it when we drove back yesterday. She's 200 miles away. I'm heartbroken but pretending it's ok. Because it is really. I know that logically.

My friends say it's fine and you adjust. I'm waiting for that.

She didn’t take her teddy? 😱😱😱

Ahh it will get easier. Have they gone far away to university? Can you plan some weekend visits to look forward to? We've visited in different seasons as it's in a lovely city with lots to see and do. They appreciated being taken out for tea and drinks and getting a full supermarket shop on us haha!

Year 2 mum here - it gets easier after term 1. Today I saw the moving in day stories on insta and felt that heart stab of a year ago, so I send you all my love. It was hands down the hardest moment of my life getting in the car and driving away. Sobbed all the way home….

Omg it's hideous isn't it 😩😩

My dd has been gone for a week 1st year at uni she messaged me at 4.00 Thursday morning to say she is missing us needless to say I couldn’t get back to sleep.She’s only just over an hour away and is coming home next weekend for my db’s birthday.I’ve been sorting her room out and got her all new bedding for her coming back.
My dh is going away with work for a month at the beginning of October so I think I’ll miss her even more then as she’s our only dc.

Awful, isn't it 🙁. I'm insanely jealous of friends whose DC haven't gone down the uni route. Even though I'm so proud of DD, and uni is absolutely the right thing for her, there's a part of me wishing she had gone for a local-ish job and was still living at home

I’m embarrassed to say I’m bereft

She’ns happy and doing fine. I’m not happy and I feel awful.Bah.

I’ve left her without contacting her so far and it’s killing me - I accidentally got four plates out instead of three at dinner and completely lost it. I miss my kid.

Dropped mine off yesterday, 220 miles from home. As we were unpacking the car he had a wobble and said he had left his teddy at home (I think he meant to, but regretted it) so we popped to the big Tesco, bough5 sandwiches for lunch, bread/milk/sandwich stuff/airier and a fluffy grey bunny,

Today I reminded him to set his Alexa up so he might make class tomorrow

2nd year DC went back last week, but realised that today was exactly a year ago they went for the first time and it's just knocked me off my feet today.

As others have said, they're fine and they're settled but today I'm really sad 😞

I get it. Left my DS for his second year 3,560 miles away, and it is a little easier, but still hurts my heart every day. I gave a countdown on my phone for Christmas break, only 83 days to go.
