Question to all the beautiful mums, when your child turned 18 did you have an emotional meltdown?
Just wondering if my random bursts of tears are normal? Or do I just need to men the f up |

Yes I did. I feel emotional about them growing up with every passing year. I miss each phase. Having said that, it brings a new phase and new experiences and that is just as wonderful. Be brave  |

"i didn't, what's making you cry? 
Nothing really I just look at him, then think of when he was little and the flood gates open "
oh, i was wondering if something was wrong with me for not getting upset. i did that with my oldest when he was younger than 18, missed him being a baby but i've accepted it now he's older, and with his brothers and sisters.
i did cry when getting rid of all the baby clothes too, when they went to school, or if they were sad or struggling with anything, but now i feel kinda proud he's doing ok for himself. my 2nd oldest is a year off 18 but just starting to make his own life for himself too and again i feel glad he's doing alright.
i feel a little sad that none of my kids are dependent on me any more but i don't cry about it or think about it too much, it's just what kids do. plus one day -grandkids. |

"As a dad my 15year old is a pain in the arse, wish he would grow up. LOL"
I have a 15 year old as well he resembles Satan at the moment, I'm wishing his hormones would settle already |

"i think it's normal to grieve our kids as they change into someone else."
I don't feel like I've had him as a child for long enough, it's passed too quickly |

Awww mine are only young but I cry when they start nursery, start school, go up each year at school, generally get older... so yes, I think it's very normal!

I know that feeling.
I was looking at photos of when he was younger & it made me well up a little, he was so different back then, real mummies boy. |

As a proud dad of a son and daughter I enjoyed seeing them grow into adulthood. My son like myself joined the army at aged 18 and now at 24 he is a section commander in a infantry regiment. Married to a lovely lass and has a beautiful daughter.
My daughter is a midwife and loves her job. Every new born baby she helps deliver gives her joy. If anyone is suited to a profession it is her.
Proud of them both. |
