'Heart Of Gold'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
My mother is good about balancing parental advice and staying hands-off. She has a good speech about kicking kids out of the proverbial nest. And my father made sure we all read The Ransom of Red Chief at a young age so we knew where we stood with him. Hee!
ETA: Plei, that is one lovely little Lilyflower you and Paul made.

I had to fight to move out on my own. Mom would have had me live there until I get married.
I'm the youngest, and when I went to college, my mother stood in the driveway and sang, "Happy Days are Here Again."
My parents have a certain sense of humor that can take some getting used to.
I've lived about an hour and a half away from my parents pretty much since college. Lately I've been sending applications across the continent. They're all, "Ooooh, new places for us to visit. Go you!"
Timelies all!
TICKYBOX! Those pictures are wonderful. Her head looks so wee in Paul's hand.
Much as I love Hec, my biggest squee was when the camera panned around to the audience and I saw Tom Scola.
I was sitting right behind him. And on my left? Rio.

(oh, forget that, I'm not ending that tag).
I want Calli's parents. Everytime I talk about the possibility of moving my mother convinces me I will never survive without her.
My parents went from 4 teens to empty nest in a very short period of time. They loved it. They went on vacations, ate dinner out, and treasured their new freedom. They didn't understand why anyone would want their kids to not seek independence.

They are pretty cool. They both rambled around foreign countries as teachers before marrying and raising kids. If I could get a job in Malta or Madegascar they'd be thrilled.

This is the kind of parent I want to be.

It's a good thing you did. My sister still lives at home and she's 48.
