VENT

[TheOrigBrave]

That's all. DS1(21) and I need to be apart from each other. He's been here since lockdown. We don't have a large house. He is unable to live the life he wants to lead. He feels aggrieved that he is expected to contribute towards the household.

AND I CAN'T STAND HIS MUSIC.

Thank you. I needed to get that off my chest.

Feel the same. Love my children but only home due to Corona & circumstances. Tired of being a verbal punchball. They need to leave. My rant over!

Having said that 95% of time they are fine! But I rather enjoy my house the way it was pre lockdown

DS2 (11) worded it well this morning.

DS1 has actually gone back to his uni town to work now.

DS2 said "I don't know whether to be glad or sad".

Aww, you can tell DS2 it's fine to be both!

Yes, that's what I did. I have the same emotions.

It's right that he's moved out, he's an adult, but I do feel sad that we argued and there was a lot of tension. It's OK, we talked it all out, he knows this will always be his home and I love him, but lockdown was hard for us all in different ways.
