[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 439539, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080] Esther, I don't think your reply was peculiar at all. When difficult child first moved out, I was a mix of elation and of feeling befuddled. Although I had been practicing my detachment in regards to difficult child, I still often felt like there was an energy missing to our home. I finally started filling up the space in my day to day life, predominantly with homework. Overall, I do not miss difficult child - in the day to day sense and often when she calls or stops by I have to hold down that wiry last nerve in me that she keeps hitting and keep my mouth shut and facial expressions at bay. It really can be a challenge. But then, a day will hit me, or a moment, or I will come across a photo - and BAM, I will miss her. I'll tell you, I can't wait for easy child to move out now! She's really no bother, but it would be nice not having to share my kitchen or bathroom with her anymore. Perhaps if my H would hurry up and finish the upstairs and we were comfortably settled into our master bedroom and bath, I wouldn't even notice her, but for now, she sometimes gets on my nerves. Love her and she's a dear, but I feel too old to give a **** about the daily minutae of their lives and having to share my household, Know what I mean?? If that makes me a bad mother, well then move over and make room, Esther! LOL. I am in no rush to push easy child out and difficult child would be welcome if she and boyfriend had a falling out, but I really REALLY can't wait to move upstairs!!!! [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
