Members Zakko Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 Originally posted by Paul J. Edwards My Wife and I just moved her into her dorm at NYU this past weekend and it's hard to deal with. My beautiful baby has just left home and I miss her. I am so proud of her going to her dream school but it hurts not having her here. Being a parent is the hardest thing I have ever done. Two more to go and I don't think it will be any easier. Love your kids as much as you can and let them know how you feel. Frat boys are lining up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigbluesman Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 "I do sound like a wimp now for sure." No you don't. I have a six year old little girl and she is the greatest thing in my life. I have never known a love like I feel for her. I know someday she will leave and that is going to crush me.

Members gagnon Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 Originally posted by Paul J. Edwards They grow up too fast!Enjoy it every day. They will be gone before you know it. Two Arab men were chatting. One pulled his wallet out and started flipping through pictures. He said, "This is my oldest son. He's a martyr." "Here's my second son. He's a martyr too." After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Arab wistfully said, "They blow up so fast, don't they?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul J. Edwards Posted September 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by Knut E Evenmo Bro, I delivered my first and only in kindergarten (he`s only been there for a week) this morning, and I thought THAT hurt I used to drop my youngest off at a day care place and as I drove away he would stand by the window looking for me in the parking lot as I drove away. Talk about ripping your heart out.You have a fine looking boy there! You want to protect them from all of life's hard knocks but they need to grow and learn through experience. The fact that you come to pick him up every day shows him that he can depend on you.This stuff happens so fast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul J. Edwards Posted September 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by Kevman You let her go to NYU?! They churn liberals out of that place by the hundreds. Should be illegal the brainwashing that goes on int there. She'll be fine. She already is a liberal free thinker. Did I mention how proud of her I am?I know that she will be fine it's me and her mother that I am worried about!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Scott. Regardless of our political differences I do not use that as a barometer of friendship. Some of my best friends are Republicans. Do you have any kids in college or soon to be moving out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 57GLDTP Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I know what you're going through. Believe me, it will fly by.Congrats on doing what appears to be a fine job of raising her.My daughter just started her last semester at St. John's University. She'll be graduating a semester early & then startingher graduate classes towards her masters.I can remember moving her in her freshman year, it was tough.Fortunately, she was able to come home on weekends so itwasn't so bad. (just married the son off too so the wife & I hadthe house to ourselves again) (if you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sent my son to college also. Two down one left to go. Momma is crying all the time, it hasn't hit me yet but the expense has, OUCH! I'm getting old....my babies are leaving the nest. May God protect and care for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close, one is 10 and the other 2 My neighbors just sent their daughter to college, the old man has no clue what to do. With the running around I do right now if you asked me I will say I can't wait for them to go but I am sure I will change my tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee that if you love your kids you will be sad to see them go and all the noise they create.It's amazing how my middle daughter has stepped up to the plate to help her mother and is actually getting along with her younger brother.When he leaves it will be an empty nest. That's just too hard to imagine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members batotman Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Saturday is my daughter's 3rd birthday. I'm dreading it! Growing up too fast, the closer it gets the further it sinks in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
