Morning Peeps! 👋
I was having a lovely chat with the teenager this morning when I realised that these ‘normal’ conversations mean I’m really old! (Okay, I’m not because I was young when I had her, but I feel very old!)
Our daily conversation involves her college application/university choices, course she’ll be doing this time next year, travel she wants to do, where she wants to live….you get the idea.
I love that she’s excited and will have adventures, I’m not wishing for her to still be small because I enjoy this stage.
But… I am not ready. I mean sure I’ll miss her and such but I think it’s more that I’m not ready to be ‘middle-aged college mum with empty nest’.
It’s weird. I’m not sad or scared (more than normal for a mother letting her baby out alone) I’m really excited for her, but I feel a lot older all of the sudden.
Anyone out there who can relate?
God bless you if you are a student or parent going through this application process!

my daughters quite wicked – she’s 22, and loves telling me she’s old, just because she knows that will make me feel old 😀 😀 :D. We couldn’t wait for her to leave home, so we moved out and left her there! but then it’s only a few doors away, so i’m lucky I do get to see her regularly (sometimes more regularly than we would like!)

My daughter is set on high adventure, travel and uni at the other end of the country! As long as she’s safe and happy…I hope your daughter is too x
