My Son is all grown up and moved out. Now we live over 152 miles a part and I miss him so. He works all the time. I got to see him for about 12 hours this last Sunday he drove up to see me and to have Lunch. Do you get to see your children as often as you would like? Are they to busy to come and see you because of how far you live?

He got a divorce and now has his daughter every other weeks so I pick her up from school three days...one of the days I make supper and bring with and we have supper together....which is very nice......but when I don't hear from him for a week or so I do miss him too.

It was easy when I live in the same city almost. Now we just don't get to see or talk as much. about once every two weeks as he is really busy being young. That does make me smile. He works all the time and then helps his girlfriend with her homework. She is getting A's so proud. I'm not sure when they are getting married sometime after she is out of college and has a job in what she went to school for. As she has a job also. Here I am going on and on again. You have a Blessed day and stay warm winter is on the way.

I didn't know your son had moved out on his own! I am lucky enough that my oldest child is still living at home. He is 21 now and is still going to college. He plans to stay with us for a few years after he graduates from college in order to save up for a place of his own. My other kids are all under 18 so they are all at home too. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

LOL that is what my son told me and then plans changed. I just smile and said it is your life. He is a great son. Does he have a nice girlfriend? My son's girlfriend is nice. Stays to herself but she is nice. Keeps him in line. LOL I did want them to get married before they moved in with each other. But she told me well, if we get married first I loose money for school and she was right. So one day as after she Graduates and gets a job in her field. have a great day me friend and stay safe.

My son is married with a child of his own and he lives just across town. His wife doesn't like his side of the family very much, so I don't see him or my granddaughter often enough. They're busy a lot, but it seems to be doing things they don't have to do, like going shopping or to plays or bike riding. Nothing wrong with those things, of course.

I know that one. I never seen my son unless I went to his job or over to his apt. twice. His Girlfriend acts funny like she doesn't like us. So never seen him much. Well, found out my son didn't like his girl and me talking. But now that we are 152 mile apart I don't know. Ask your son for your Granddaughter for a night if you like. Now if it was me you can keep them until they can do everything for themselves. LOL Thank you and have a great day

Aww...I can so relate to this. I have 4 girls. My oldest lives 3 towns away which is about 45 mins but our work schedules are such that we rarely get to spend time together. We talk on the phone and internet but it isn't the same. 2 of my girls are here a lot during the week which is very cool. My youngest however is way off in Vegas which is clear across the country from us. I miss her all the time, non-stop. She recently graduated from highschool and informed me that she was moving out there. It was a really big pill to swallow. I get it though...she wants to be independent and see the world before settling down. Who am I to hold her back? I worry and I miss her but I'm also very proud of her . She is coming home for the holidays and I can't wait. IT is going to be hard letting her go all over again but it's ok...I need to see her and hug her.

Vegas oh OK. You win. I would have a fit. Oh wait I did when My niece moved to Vegas at 19. I was so happy when she moved back. I just wish that there was more. I mean you know something. Bells ringing. Something for all them years of love and look you can walk out of my house. LOL I do get it. I just want to hug him and never let him go. But I'm so proud of him. you have a great day and holidays will be here soon.

I am 22 and I moved out of my parents' home when I was 20. I struggled a lot because I missed my parents, and I ended up moving back home again because of it. It was horrible because of the fact that I knew that I was missing them and I was not able to see them as much as I would have wanted to. So I know what you feel now that your son has moved out. You should just try to make sure that you have done your best to stay in touch with him and make sure that he knows that you're always there for him if he needs you.

Yes My son is 22. And he knows that if he needs me I will be there. The only time I told him to not bother me if he went to jail and it was his fault. Don't wake me for something stupid. LOL and he knows as his cousins used to call me all hours and I didn't mind. But never to get them out of jail. to pick them up yes. LOL we are very close and I love him with all my heart. He is a great young man. You have a great day

I'm glad my son is young now and won't travel far. But don't be sad, I am sure he loves you and is doing everything to visit you as soon as he can. Call him often, maybe that would calm down your big heart :). Happy mylotting, my friend :)

Yes it is hard not seeing him. But when I lived in the same city I went to his job and we would have lunch. And I would get gas. As he works at a station he does tires and oil and other repairs. He is a great young man. So keep your son close to you now and love him and always be there for him. So when he does leave you both know that he can always come to you. No matter what. Thank you have a great day

It is not hard to find clothings for children, whatever that fits on them they look so cute. There is no need to consider wether the taste of choice is fine or not. You can dress them up without taking a lot of time to decide what's best for them. A decent clothes will be a great thing to provide as their basic needs. We used to miss their presence if we afre far away from them.
