She'll be back. You'll be excited to see her...at first. Soon you will be wondering when she is ever going to leave...and how on earth you lived with her before!
Good luck to her, and you!

If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...
Just delivered my oldest daughter to Dunedin this afternoon for her second year. It's still a poignant experience. She's flatting this year in Forth St with close friends and I'm just hoping it all works out. 6 girls flatting together is a mercurial mix and will be character building.
Hey thanks everyone for sharing.
No pics, I'm well aware of young male testosterone. No Biker boyfriends - they're a weird bunc,h I know from first hand experience.
We're catching the 2am sailing soon so no riding for me this weekend. Already come across two people through work that are doing the same 'first year' trip to drop a kid at Otago. Must be bonanza time for Air New Zealand and co.
Happiness is a means of travel, not a destination
Mmmmm. Freshers.

Losing the first one is hard - by the last you'll be pushing them out the door saying to each other, "thank christ we've got shot of them"
I can testify it's splendid to have your own life back.
My girlfriends brother still lives with his parents and doesn't seem to have any intention of moving out..........he's 38! I think you got off lightly.
You'll only really appreciate this event when the LAST one finally buggers off and leaves you in peace...
Seriously, it happens to all of us with kids. Usually comes out just fine. And then eventually there are grandkids. You an indulge the shit out of them and spoil them rotten without having to pick up the pieces afterwards..."Oh well, better be getting off home now..." as the kids go postal and destroy the room. As you go you can remind your progeny that the kids are "just like you were dear...sniggersniggersnigger"

Just wait until she moves back in with her kids because Mr Dreamboat has buggered off with a Vegas Showgirl.... You will look back on this and wonder - "what was I thinking?"
God bless her though - Shes come from good stock so I'm sure she will do well...
My eldest lived at home for two years of Uni. She's great company (smart conversation etc) so all good for me.
Then she got a job in an exchange scheme Disney run, and "suddenly" she's in America this year!
At least I got to turn her bedroom into my new office.
Skype makes a difference. We can video-chat any time we want. (Geez, people used to writer letters then wait a week for them to get somewhere. That really has changed a lot.)
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
Wow, my eldest just started high school and all that talk about boys is driving me nuts! I think it's about time for me to apply for that gun license...
