No worries!  I am completely sympathetic as my kids are 16 & 18.  My oldest has been eagar to move out on his own & soon will, boo hoo!!!  I am also proud of my kids and know it is a good thing that they become independent & take care of themselves but that's part of being a parent.  Hang in there, more good things come & you will always be his mom!

Oh whine away!! I feel the same way about my daughter. She turned 15 three weeks ago, and I so want her to be 5 again!!! To think that in a year that girl will have a driver's license (she is counting the days!!) and most likely a part-time job somewhere, it is just scary....it's like releasing them into the wild, you know? But you are right, we'll be around for grandkids!!!

HE HASN'T GOTTEN HIS DRIVERS LICENSE YET BECAUSE WE DID THE PARENT-TAUGHT DRIVERS ED AND HE GOT FINISHED WITH IT A LITTLE LATE. SO HE HAS ABOUT 2 MORE WEEKS TO GO BECAUSE HE HAS TO HAVE HIS PERMIT FOR 6 MONTHS EXACTLY BEFORE HE CAN GET HIS LICENSE.

When they are little it seems they cling to us, but once they take their first step, it begins a life time of steps away from us. I threw myself on my bed and cried for a month when my son graduated from High School and went off to OSU. I was tramatized! I recovered but only to have my daughter come right behind him and leave, followed by the last two girls....Each step that each took away from me, broke my heart. I still find it hard to cope with at times....I still miss my babies! My oldest just turned 42 in Feb and lives in CA., and my baby will turn 32 in May. They never get to old to be missed and loved. My oldest grandbaby just turned 17 and now I feel like a REALLY old woman!! Each step they take is hard.
I with I could say it get's easier, but it doesn't. I too am so thankful that the steps I took may allow me more time to spend with my kids and grandkids. I will just say make each day count as those are your treasures!

i never gave birth but the day my nephew turned 13 I knew there was no going back. He is now 22 works at a five star resturant and is doing good for himself.
I can look back and say I helped him become what he is today. he may be in a grown up male body but to me he will always be that little 6 year old boy wearing a tee shirt around his head being a ninja....crazy about teenage mutant ninja turtles claiming pizza ia part of the food group.
Dear heart you  haent lost your little boy you are gaining a grown up...Just start preparing yourself for the girlfriend.....Like Mom, dad I would like for you to meet.....then you know hes all grown up.....
being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
