A shiney new topic
I have 2

I have a 33 year old. So there. She and DH and their 10 year old DD have just been given a council flat after waiting nearly NINE YEARS. They have been living with me up until now. I am SO pleased that they've finally got somewhere but bloody hell I'm going to miss them.

Oh and I'm a MIL.

Mine are 20 B , 19 G and the youngest is 18 on Friday. Are we counting the manchild? Mines 42

DS 25, DS 22 and DD 21 tomorrow. Two DGC who are my reward for not eating DD in her early years!

Dd1 is 26,dd2 is 23 and Ds is 15

I have a 27 year old ds, a 22 year old ds, and an 8 year old ds. Only the 8 year old left at home, suppose he does have an excuse ha ha!
The 27 year old is getting married in September so I will be a mil.

I have one ATM, 19 this month.

She rang at 11.40 pm to talk about what her backache might be. I lovingly pointed out she has her period and suggested hot water bottle and painkillers!

I have a 24 year old, a 22 year old, a 21 year old, two 19 year olds and an 18 year old.
One is on way back from Budapest with boyfriend . One is en route to Madrid without boyfriend . One is out partying. One is fretting about exams (unnecessarily) . One is wanting to intercalate but worrying re cost.
Not finished parenting just yet!

I have one, DS, 32, independent, single, works too hard.

Crumbs Er -- intercalate?

I have 5. They usually take turns chiming up but 3 are giving me sleepless nights at the moment -
DS 37, never wanted children, partner desperately did, so conceded and their PFB has been the most difficult, fractious, sleepless baby ever. Parents are clueless and I continually despair.
DD 35, marriage on the rocks and am required for counselling and mediation from both. 2 DGC testing the boundaries.
DS 30, almost perfection. Lovely wife and a total angel of a DGD. DIL has various health issues but is a delight.
DD 24, high achieving Masters student currently back home due to anxiety disorder.
DD 22, adorable low maintenance hard working chef with delightful boyfriend of 7 years.
Recently downsized to a small cottage with the expectation that DD s would be leaving home. All crammed in with 2 dogs.

Growuphelen a good illustration of the ever changing role of being a parent!
With adult children it's great when things are going well but I feel I take on more of their worries than ever when they hit a problem.

"You are only ever as happy as your least happy child"

I don't know who first said that but it's so true

Intercalate- doing masters as additional year within medical degree.

25,23&23. All at home and lurking in their bedrooms like teenagers. They are slowly driving me to insanity. 2 have had problems that they are recovering from and the other has given up her part time job in order to get another one.

I have one! A g(21). She's off backpacking soon.

They do come and go now - which is lovely. Creates huge piles of laundry though.

I have two. DD, 24, moved out in January and living 50 miles away and DS, 19, living at home but off to uni in September in the same city his sister lives in.
They are both lovely and I worry endlessly about them.

Ooh a new club where I belong x 2

20 an 18. Uni exams heading for a year abroad and A levels heading for uni.

Empty nest looms.

I have 3. Son aged 32, single, well employed, owns his own house (sweet and handsome i'd love for him to find the right lady). Daughter aged 33, bright and lovely, she has an amazing fellow by her side and two adorable little ones. Eldest son is 34, married, well employed, has one adorable little one, in the process of buying their first home (a miniscule major fixer upper).
none live close. one is a 4 hr drive, one is an 8 hr drive, and our daughter is overseas.
so yes I'm a mil and my dil is unique.....

Two boys here 17 and 21. One working in retail the other at 6th form, so I guess not quite an adult child yet.

Ooo can I join?
I have DS 26, at home doing a PGCE. DS 20, at home doing electrical engineering in college. DD, 24, in Bradford married and working. DS, 22 in Bath working.
Lapdance, so true
Yes, yes to 'I thought I'd stop worrying when they were 18'. Two at home worry me most. I love having them here, but want them to fly the nest, at the same time

On a short, 4 day break with friends in Copenhagen at moment.......have two of ours and two of theirs with us - more expensive but more fun. All the 'children' are taking us out for a meal tonight as we've paid for everything else.

3 adult dc more of a worry than the unders!!
Add a gs into the mix and back to sleepless nights again.

We have sats and gcse exams approaching. .
Oh roll on July for anniversary week end away!!

I have a 27 yr old son and 2 grown up dd ages 25 and 18
Also have long term foster child who is 11 and been here since a baby and we have just adopted our 2 yr old foster child (both youngest are boys with complex needs)
Eldest daughter married but everyone else at home . They keep me on my toes but i love it. Hope i never have to face an empty nest !

23 and 21, both employed (not locally) and have left home, so I'm just about coping with the empty nest. Miss them loads still, but they both show up sporadically often with partners in tow and they still like to holiday with us if we are paying.
