I’m frigging 33 years old and my mom (not my wife, my MOM) still calls me after every business trip to make sure I made it home ok. And I travel 20 weeks a year.

The letting go does not get easier. My son is 15 and really wanting more freedom. Its hard to know how much freedom to give and when.

Best of luck!

I’m going to suck at letting go. I just know it.

I TOTALLY don’t want to let go. I want my boys to be independent and creative. I just want them to want me to be there with them too…. We start preschool in the Fall, and I’ve got such mixed emotions!

Did someone else bring the Stegosaurus and it kicked her T-Rex’s ass? Bcse it’s easy to discount the Stegosauras as an asskicking dino but that tail is vicious.
Perhaps her T-Rex suffered a fatal blow…..
(seriously do you have the dino website? it rules, we spend HOURS on it.)

I can’t imagine how I will react to any of this. Yep, I’m a total “helicopter” and “micro-manager”. I know I need to release my grip at some point, but I’m just not ready.

Added you to my “twin sightings….

It isn’t any easier letting go when they get older. I oftten find myself wondering where the time has gone. One minute my kids were here and needing me and the next… Well it just seems like they have grown out needing me. Enjoy it guys. It moves way to fast!!

On Monday at pick up my oldest (she’ll be 5 in June) told me that there was a stranger in the old house, which is really a storage shed, behind their playground. Turns out one of the boys in her room told her a scary story about a stranger with A KNIFE. Oh my God. I was so mad. I told her if he ever scares her like that again to go straight to her teacher. She seems fine now and has not mentioned it again after I told her he was just teasing her and it was all made up but I will go to her teacher to talk about it if needed.

And I consider myself “laid back,” whew.

I never plan to let go myself… And being a teacher in real life I guess its home school for my squad.

The PB & The J do the same thing… you immediately think of something awful and then, like with Claudia, it’s something in their imagination or something trivial.
