What all do you do craftwise?
In fact, I actually went out and had fun with some friends
the night I was granted a divorce... it was like a heavy weight was lifted from my shoulders. I understand that feeling! What a poor judge of character I was. BTW, 4 years ago I married a guy I had dated for 16 years. We both had kids to raise and weren't optimistic about a blended family so we waited until the 4 of them were on their own. Living with another adult on an equal basis after all those years is one of the most difficult things we have ever had to do. Jane |

Oh how I recognise that feeling. I had a text the other night from the
youngest (almost 21) saying "I love you both and miss you a bit! & she was most indignant when I asked how drunk she'd been when she sent it. Apparently she wasn't: boy did I feel guilty for even thinking it!! Love, higs and sympathy Christine "Donna D." wrote in message .. . Hi Christine: Thanks for the response. I find my kids are human most days but go off on these tangents, especially my daughter. I think my son will be staying very local for university as he has realised he cannot live without mommy or daddy. My daughter is hoping to go away for university where I"m sure she'll fit in very well as she is extremely independant. At the moment they are both in their pleasant modes. I spend this time wondering what they "want" smirk. Donna from near Niagara Falls Canada where sunshine and not too bad temps are upon us again today! " Christine in Kent, Garden of England" wrote in message ... In my experience Donna for boys it's about 17 to 18, and for girls you're talking about roughly 18 to 19 ( or with either it's when they leave home and realise just how much you did for them!!) Love & higs Christine "Donna D." wrote in message . .. Hi Trish: Just a quickie quesiton here. At approx. what age do they become "human" again....I really need to have something to look forward to. My daughter turns 17 next month! Donna from near Niagara Falls, Canada "Trish" wrote in message ... Hey! Pink stripes are the least of your worries Mom!(LOL) Believe me, I raised 2 girls too!(LOL) But they do become human again.:) -- Trish http://community.webshots.com/user/trishirvine http://www.geocities.com/marshalldouglas2001/ "Eastern Edge" wrote in message oups.com... Trish wrote: OOO, That sounds really pretty. be sure to post a pic of it when you're done:) -- Trish http://community.webshots.com/user/trishirvine http://www.geocities.com/marshalldouglas2001/ It's gonna be gorgeous! I picked out a Lizzie McGuire pattern for her, so she's doubly tickled Nice and simple, so to show off the fabric and tiny little bone structure she's got. Plus I'll crochet her a black and turquoise shrug out of ladder/ribbon yarn. It's for her to wear to her sister's confirmation this spring, for which I am making a beautiful white-on-white cotton (DD1 has allergic skin and can't wear synthetic fabrics) dress, with a pastel-coloured patchwork border along the calf-length hem. Simple and plain but perfectly suited to my dress-hating, jeans-loving oldest girl. I just hope the pink stripe in her hair grows out by then! If not, it'll match the shawl she's purchased Michelle |

Living with another adult on an equal basis after all those years is one of the most difficult things we have ever had to do. When I married Keith, we both had 2 children, ranging in age from 10 to 14. It was difficult, and even though the kids are now grown and gone, there are still issues. However, we decided that we wanted to be together and went ahead and did it. Selfish? Probably, but if we hadn't done it then, we never would have. I totally understand about the adjustment!

Jane Wow, after living without a partner for all these years while raising Matthew, I can't even imagine being able to adjust to having to share a living space with someone else now. I still have feelings for a man I was very much in love with before I met and married Matthew's father, but I wish him nothing but love and happiness (with whomever he is with now), and I doubt that I could even adjust for his sake if given the opportunity now. Once in a while I allow myself to wonder what it *could* have been like, but I am settled and used to be alone, without a partner. Gemini |
