Toot

Written by Allie on 2025-01-07 at 10:13

Our daughter moved out today. 21yo. Has moved in with some friends, she felt like it was time. It's all on good terms.

I hope her "cleaning up after herself" skills improve drastically :)

But I feel like I've taken a pummelling.

It's just this hole in our family. It's normal. It's healthy. It's important.

...and yet.

@grissallia daughter-in-law is moving out tomorrow. after moving in Jan-2020. she moved from a small town in FNQ, has since become one with the city, grown significantly in world view and capability, and so moving out is a triumph and quite marvellous.

but, same, we joyfully tearfully become less while the world grows more.

i do feel a pang of remorse for her flatmates though. we taught her to cook well but could never seem to instill the ‘clean-as-you-go’.

@grissallia It's normal, but it's a big change, it's reasonable to have big feels about it. Did she move far?

@grissallia close enough for plenty of visits then, you get to go over and leave things on HER bench now!
