[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 84794, member: 1545"] I'm with Janet. Sounds a lot like empty nest. We tend to fall back to what is comfortable and familiar. Having the kids around ... doing chores ... going to eat at favorite places, etc. I find what helps is doing something outside of the familiar. Try to change it up a bit. Let the house get a little messy. Try a new restaurant with hubby. Start a new hobby. We are SOOOO defined by motherhood. Especially when parenting difficult child's ... it requires so much of us ... that when they aren't there any longer there is this huge void. Do you exercise? If not, put on some comfy sneakers and go for a walk outdoors. It is good for body and soul. [/QUOTE]
