[QUOTE="Terryforvols, post: 340722, member: 2127"] I love having adult children because: They live in their own places, come and visit, and then go home We can come home from work, put on our PJs at 5:30 p.m., fix whatever leftovers, pizza, etc., for supper and hear no complaining When we watch Lost together, no one interrupts us We can do whatever we want We can go to bed at 7:00 p.m. The house stays neater Because it is just husband and me!! peaceful, funny, kind of like before children without the "future planning", kind of hectic lifestyle (I don't know how to describe it, I just know how it feels to live it!!) Watching them grow, the good and the bad, and how they now react to those "When I grow up/have children, I'll never ........." A lot of eaten words!!!! Being in the room when our first grandchild was born, seeing my difficult child's face, and hearing the words "Now I know why you did (all the crazy stuff) to save me when I was using drugs" Being able to enjoy their successes, knowing you had a part in some of them, and especially treasuring the ones where they had to persevere and triumph over THEMSELVES to succeed I love my children so much, and would do it again in a heartbeat (good and bad). Although I do miss having younger children, even with the past and current pain, this seems to be happiest, most content time I have felt since our early married years! [/QUOTE]
