I have great pleasure in reminding one of my mates when his son and daughter were in their late teens and now early 20s about some of the shit we did at and around that age...... heh heh heh.

As I understand ... the entitlement of the students to access student loans/benefits will depend on parent incomes. Over the threshold ... and either students work, or mummy and/or daddy pays ...Originally Posted by swtfa

My eldest came home for a couple of weeks last year.
Within an hour one of the dogs had eaten a pair of her very expensive shoes.

O week coming up, that booze doesnt buy itself
i suppose she is going into a Hall this year. next year when its flat hunting time tell her not to rush into signing up to soon, the landlords like to stitch the kids up to a 12 month lease and the rentals are expensive from $85 (long way away from uni) to $130 a room, some better condition than others, lots of the student flats are complete shitholes that have had little or no money spent on them in years and while the students are hard on them and can trash a flat the LLs are making a killing, 2 of my boys were flatting last year in old dumps one was returning 40k a year to the owner the other 28k, because they were near the uni. This year there are lots of empty flats and i know a few LLs who are now getting desperate to let, last year there were empty flats all year and this year will be the same, students looking for flats now will get a bargain. Bond is another curly one, one thing the LLs hate is giving bond back so any damage found during a flat inspection prior to letting MUST be photographed and pointed out to LL or their letting agent or you run the risk of being charged to fix it out of the bond at the end of tenancy.

SInce she's a girl she will keep in contact...now if your offspring was a boy you wouldn't hear jack-shit from him for months...boys tend to be piss-poor at communicating after moving out - especially if they go to another city/country.

Girl moving out?
Just enjoy the fact that the room will be cleaner than before (you MIGHT be able to see some floor...), the smell will be gone (plates of half eaten food hidden under the bed...), and the laundry, water, phone and interdweeb bills will be halved.
Going on current experience.

Try having a girl who was an artist for a while.
I can't believe all the places I've found paint.

Always keep in mind, when your kids finally leave home, you bank balance does not increase.

Just wait until she comes back home to "save money". Never could work that out. It never saves me money having them back!

Cool Mark - I remember those days - my last one went to Uni 8 years ago so we've been empty nest a wee while. Was always fun catching up with them and it was great when last one finished Uni over 4 years ago she decided to marry a fellah she'd met there and they lived in Zurich for 3 years - gave the olds the excuse to visit Europe and we went over about twice a year. 18 months ago they moved to Melbourne so its easier to get to but not quite so much fun and we go there at least twice a year now instead. So we are at the point now we spend the money visiting them and not on them - oldest one, son, is in Auckland and we don't mind visiting there either.
It has slowed our biking down a bit as we are taking far more holidays using aircraft now - averaging probably 50-100,000km a year on them because it gave us the travel bug and we've been doing a couple of trips a year independent of the kids sometimes as well.
So your girl might have left, but the plan is to think what will you do now to enjoy that? Especially things you've never gotten around to doing before.
Cheers

Yep, usually we have to contact the boys to see if they are still alive.
