She told me tt she really fought hard with her Mum over moving out.<br /><br />Over time, her Mum came to terms with it. Now, she is back to living with her Mum as she has to take care of her.k@Ye_https://www.blogger.com/profile/14360263111924587234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-82746119575314891012010-09-21T08:07:11.732-07:002010-09-21T08:07:11.732-07:00Not a parent yet, so can't relate to the paren...Not a parent yet, so can't relate to the parenting thing, BUT I'm SO glad my Mom could let me go.

I constantly guard myself and try to have engaging and time-consuming activities (like research)to suck up the emptiness. It makes it easier to let go.Petunia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168448898497786754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-20704210089718617692010-09-20T23:13:24.253-07:002010-09-20T23:13:24.253-07:00CKL - I totally empathise with you.

It takes a lot of courage for the child to go, and even more courage for a parent to let her go!<br /><br />Now that YK is talking about learning to drive, I constantly find myself wondering how he would handle some difficult traffic situations that I come across daily. Can't help worrying.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-19022553973264954102010-09-20T22:48:11.084-07:002010-09-20T22:48:11.084-07:00It's hard for a mum to let go - my 14-year-old...It's hard for a mum to let go - my 14-year-old is constantly talking about going to England to study in two years time; I know it has been her dream for a long long time but secretly I am hoping that she will change her mind or that she doesn't get accepted by this university...

They are all living atthe granny's, so we think it is best she furnish the flat and move in instead of leaving it empty. Even then, her mum doesn't allow!Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-84126472259344301542010-09-20T19:51:09.765-07:002010-09-20T19:51:09.765-07:00Blur, mayb suggest to yr friend to move to somewhe...Blur, mayb suggest to yr friend to move to somewhere within the same estate or even the same block? That way, easier for the apron string to be cut, slowly.<br /><br />Also, for her to set up a program to go out on a weekly basis with her mum?<br /><br />I think most pple hate change, esp if u are not the one initiating it.<br /><br />Of cos if yr fren is moving out becos of a relationship tt needs privacy, then some of my suggestions may not work, :D!auntieluciahttp://singaporegirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
