Both are mid 20s now, and both have graduated college and moved into lives of their own. sometimes I really miss those days, and other times I am so glad I survived them. it was alot like work.
Congratulations you have given the kid a good foundation. I too have a bit of an under achiever. it was in college that he started to figure out that it was up to HIM to get the work done. That it was HIS future, and HIS assignment. It was wonderful to see it start to click for him.
way to go !

Yes. DD19 graduated last year. Although I expected to miss her, I did not anticipate that I would also miss her friends. She came home last week, and will be home for parts of the summer. She said, "Mom, I hope you don't mind if we put up the pool, and I have friends over a lot again."
Oh, I absolutely don't mind at all!
She was my over-achiever. It will be hard to see them both go in fall, but DS will be attending college close by.
