Dd is my only child, she’s 17yo. Don’t get me wrong, I love her loads.
She’s a great kid, no problems, we don’t argue.....well she can be a bit moody and snappy but nothing major.
We don’t really do much together these days as she’s so wrapped up in friends and her boyfriend. Which is normal. So even the old evenings of binge watching Gilmour Girls seem to be gone. I only seem to serve a purpose for her of washing clothes, cooking food and driving her places (we’re rural).
She’s just been away for a week with school and to be honest it’s been bliss. No non stop “mum, have you seen this top, mum what’s for dinner, mum can you take me to x”.
Spent more time with dh, house just seemed calmer. Mentioned this to dh and he’s in full agreement.
I’m kind of looking forward to her going to uni. Is that bad? I feel like a lioness who’s lion cub has been hanging around too long and now needs to make it on their own.
Maybe I think this now but it will hit me like a tonne of bricks when she does actually go?
