Okay here goes… My Daughter is off to university next week, and while I am a proud mum and pleased she’s grown into the beautiful woman she is, I am also dreading the fact she is leaving. I remember her first word, her first steps, her first day at school etc and the thought of making her own way in the world fills me with dread.
She’s not just my daughter but also a best friend and yes im sad lol. I know I have to drive her and all her worldly belongings that im forever telling her to pick off her floor, to her uni digs. I know i’m not supposed to let her see me upset when it’s time to leave her there, but thats going to be so hard to do. But as I will have a 2-3 hour drive ahead again I will have to try my hardest, and break down when i get home lol.Anyone been through the same thing? and how did you cope.?

I can relate so well to what you have said albeit my daughter’s leaving was of a different kind…….my daughter didn’t go to uni but left home to live with her boyfriend………..when he had screwed it all up, put her in financial debt and wrecked her emotionally she had to come home……….i watched her leave with every memory about her life up till that day so fresh in my mind ………..and then i welcomed her back to make it all right for her.
Awwww Surrey!!
No I have not gone through this, my little one is still following me around like a shadow, blessing and curse at the same time …
But anyway, Congratulations for raising a successful and ambitious young woman.Maybe start taking more time for you now :) xx
Surrey… all I can say is enjoy it while you can…. THEY COME BACK!!! :D Seriously though,,, yes its different when they leave but think of it like this… for my kids it was an adventure… they loved it.. and have to say once I got used to it I loved it too.
Mine both came back…. and I then missed the time being my own and got irritated when they messed up the house again… its natural and healthy for them to fly the nest……. enjoy :D
They both have their own houses now… its nice to go around and mess their houses up a bit :D
Aww thanks for your replies. I know logically that’s all correct but I spose im worried more because she’s worried.? She’s worried about leaving me with her youngest brother (which I cant blame her lol.) She’s also worried because she doesn’t know anyone and it’s unfamiliar. But yes she is going to have a great time knowing her, but still doesn’t help with the feeling of loss and that empty space she will leave. But I should be a bit better off financially for it, as I wont have to fund her pub and club trips :lol:
She tells me she is coming home every holiday, and yes maybe I’ll be pleased to send her back after :shock: cause she isn’t the tidyest child lol.@mrs_teapot wrote:
