We have been empty nesters for 8+ years. Our two children moved out after I told them to follow the rules or get out. They left….Sometimes I regret moments of tough love. Now our 28 year old is an attorney. He figured it out. My 28 year old daughter is like Jenny in Forest Gump. She hitch hiked all over and still has not figured out what she wants to doin life. We work three jobs to survive and we are in our 60’s. Now we have two dogs and two cats.
