I got such a huge response from last week's episode that I decided to keep the conversation going. I think part of the reason it seems weird when all the kids fly the coop is that we lose our reason to be part of something. When we are momming, we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Then, suddenly, it's over, just like that. But the reality is, we didn't want to be mommed (or dadded) at their age, so we need to be aware of when it's time to be hands off and let them adult. This is our time to be US - whoever that may be!
