A few short years ago, I used to dread when my only dd would leave home, how much I would miss her, because we used to have so much fun together. Now I can't wait for her to get going and go to Uni. Is that bad of me?
Nowadays although she is still nice with me (mostly), but she spends most of her time with the boyfriend including weekends, and when she is home, she criticizes her brother and annoys her dad all the time. I just don't need this. I am also hoping that Uni will make her realize how good she has it at home, but maybe that's a fantasy?

If she's anything like my DD you'll be right - she will start thanking you for things and exclaiming at how delicious your cooking is. She now tells her brother off if he complains about his dinner not being cooked to his exact specification but is clearly pleased to see him, "Yo bro" she says when she sees him. It's lovely.

Apparently this is normal - they all start tweeting and instagramming about how fab their parents are, spoiling them when they go home and posting photos of them with their family.

(Sorry I moved the post to "teenagers", because I thought bloggers may be the wrong place.)
