You know I'm right there with you. So many good points here about why its hard. I feel like half my job is trying to stay quiet or NOT show a reaction. Like I said yesterday, how do we not hold our breath waiting for our kids to get sorted out because that process (like it's been for us) might be a lifetime...
And why do I feel like all too soon we'll be complaining to each other that our kids have spouses who they are turning to instead and we wish they called us more. Trying to look ahead on the parenting road when our kids were little didn't help us then, I know it doesn't really make it any easier to be in this season just because we know it's going change or end..but I do think about it.
