When A was younger, I felt the same way. Your dd is still a bit young, but believe me, around 13-14, she will do things that make you glad she is gone for a few hours as well. Email me off list if you want to know my po'd name for my dd . . .
And ds is actually turning back into a human being!

Daughters are always yours ! I do love my son but if the four of us were in a lifeboat and I could only save two, it would be a hard toss up lol My daughters and I are simply on the same wavelength, we think as one.
That they are.

My DD moved out just last week. She had been working 2nd shift for a couple of years and spent wkends with her DBF, so our separation had already begun. She stopped by before work today. We migrated her email acct from ours to her own acct. Its strange as she now has her license, a Garmin GPS, a cell phone, and her own car. She had been my best friend and stash building buddy as well. So here's to her new life!!!

I didn't mean to suggest they shouldn't fly the coop ! All mine are gone and that's a good thing, for me and them lol Success is when you have reared them ready to spread their wings.
But you have Aya and the grandkids to keep you company.

I took it as a compliment of the highest order when DD (who has her own home a few miles away) called one night last week. She'd ordered a movie from Netflix ("Inkheart," a book we'd both enjoyed), and as she was putting it in to play, said to herself, "Wait! Mom would enjoy this movie, too," and called to set up a time to watch it together...which we did on our day off last Friday. Made a frozen pizza for lunch and ate it in front of the TV.
That was SUCH a gift!

Funny, for me its DS who is, as DD says, the same person but in a bigger body. We test the same (almost exactly) on Meyers-Briggs, are equally rightbrained, and have the same Chinese horoscope sign. And we both equally frustrate DD, who is much more decisive, and finds we tend to.....dither. Both of them are happy to include mumsie in all sorts of things, call regularly, and are all around Good Things.

I could see my son, he would watch the movie then highly recommend it to me whereas the girls would do as your daughter did lol
