Grown Up Children

Tweet

My two kids now are both grown-ups and are starting to live their own lives although they are still with me in our house. There were times though that I feel alone and lonely because both are busy doing their own preoccupations. My daughter is often invited to a dinner by her boyfriend, while my son plays badminton. I am often alone with our household help at night, watching TV, then retire to bed. My husband works out of town. Sometimes I engage in useless self pity and miss the days of yesteryears when my children are still dependent of me. Today, my daughter is in Cebu for an NCLEX review and I'm left with a son who is too busy as a website advertiser. It's good that I have an interesting job to keep me busy, otherwise, I think I'd go crazy. These days, I am keeping my hands full sitting in front of our computer, posting discussions for mylot. But there is still something lacking in my life and I don't know what it is. Could anyone help?
