Well, the time has come now to allow our oldest to spread his wings. I thought I had done that, but I was informed that I have not. How does a mother go about doing that? I have no idea. Does it mean not to care if they eat breakfast? How about keeping them in check on the things of life? I am not sure of the process of letting go, this is my first time. I surely don't want to be the type of mother that drives her kids nuts with all of her antics. I am going to try extra hard not to do that.
Today I am working hard to not be the mom of a teen, but a mom of a young man. I may need some help in that area. Any hints you may have will be greatly appreciated. Some of the hints I have received are things such as; don't hoover over him, don't call every day, don't sing him to sleep, don't go and rescue him.....unless he needs money!
I don't know, I hear the empty nest is a good thing, so far it is not my favorite part of life but I know it will get better with time. I feel so old. Well, I need to go get the walker ready, I have to take a kid to school! :)

D', I enjoyed your blog. Some of the things you said bring back memories. I guess the best thing I can tell you is to Just Trust. You raised him right, he knows what you expect now hand him over to God and, you got it, Just Trust. lol
I'll be praying for you. I know it's hard. You may get more hints from my blog, www.marybellfoster.blogspot.com If you read mine you will find that I am still working on the letting go and trusting thing. :-) Love Ya Girl! Mary
