Last month brought big changes to the Wills-Stewart household, a time of 'letting go while holding on' to both of our children. Katelyn decided to live at home her first at the UT College of Veterinary Medicine, and we took John to UTC to begin his college career. Yep, a big week of firsts and lasts and goodbyes and tears. Obviously, the tears are mine. (John asked that I refrain from crying until I was in the car on the way home and for the most part I was able to do that.) This is every parents' dilemma - when it's time for them to leave the nest, how do you stay connected? How do you support their independence yet encourage them to remain part of the family in a healthy way? How do you say 'good-bye' and 'you're always welcome here', at the same time?

How to Be Seductive to Your Boyfriend and Instantly Turn Him On? Here Are Some Quick Ways to Do It If you have found him to be extra nice to you, making sure that you are comfortable and happy, it shows that he is not only genuinely concerned for your welfare but is interested in making you happy and excited in his company. Once he knows that you are impressed by him, he will find it easier to get you to like him. All you have to check is whether he seems to be hanging on to every word that comes out of your mouth! He will love to be around you, listening to all you have to say. He will agree with your views and will even defend them!

How do you support their independence yet encourage them to remain part of the family in a healthy way? How do you say 'good-bye' and 'you're always welcome here', at the same time? I wish I knew the answer! It might make the next few years easier. I do know that it seems to be easier with daughters than sons. By the time Katelyn left for college, she was completely through the 'pushing away' stage and ready to be in an adult-to-adult relationship with her dad and me. John, on the other hand, still just seems to need a mother for things like packing up all his belongings, and a father for some spending money. I've heard from moms whose sons are in their 20s that 'this too shall pass' and eventually parents get smart again and sons actually want to be around them. I'm not one to wish my life away, because it's such a great life, but I do look forward to the day when John joins Katelyn in being excited about coming home and giving his mom a big hug. In the meantime, I'll do my best to make John's launch to UTC a positive experience for all of us, and give great thanks that he is the wonderful young man that he is, while enjoying having Katelyn back home for a year. I'll let him do most of the calling and texting, and offer her home-cooked meals and clean sheets. At my age, more and more of my friends are getting into committed relationships. Some are getting married and, scarier still, having children. My observation is that this trend tends to excite all of my female friends, while simultaneously terrifying the guys. Discussions of "Who's next?" pop up at baby showers and wedding receptions, and the same question resonates at the back of my own mind when lying next to my girlfriend at night. https://healthinfluencer.net/skin-care-tips-to-help-to-manage-your-skin/ https://wedoreviewforyou.com/survival-more-important-than-you-know/ https://losconcepto.com/how-to-pickup-beautiful-women-easily-get-the-woman-of-your-dreams/ https://criptomonde.com/bitcoin-revolution-review/
