If he has moved out it counts! lol

If only.

The going rate for seeing my parents is about every 5yrs, and has been since i fkd off at 17. Thats the ones who raised me - the other side is more 30yrs.

My kid's 7yo but five days is normal, and occasionally it's a fortnight.

The step kids are adults, typically a couple of months. In fact, i haven't seen the lad since the spring.

I could almost consider it to be my fault, but the dysfunction is actually pretty normal all sides.

My son (18) went to his friends for 3 nights recently was a group of them. I cooked them food. I'm such a mother but was quiet at home lol

Myself I speak to my mum most days.

I like to make sure they are fed too. I sent my girl off with a bag full of random stuff out of my fridge the other night. lol

I made a big lasagne. Stopped them living on pizza at least for a day

I think it's hard when they first aren't around. As we are so used to them being there.

Yeah it's weird. She's more clingy than I am though. When I told her she hadn't contacted me for 24 hours she said, omg where was I?

i idnt phone my mum for 6 weeks once, just to see how long it would take her to phone me. She phoned after 6 weeks to give me an ear full for not phoning her.

Ive 4 grown up kids we watsapp an chat most days.

philwins mum.n dad do

I remember the first time I really slept over a boyfriends house at 20, I got called and asked if Im not coming home.

I had like no freedom, but now being a grown up I see why they were so protective. God help my future daughter, shes gonna be smart, beautiful and a ovearl the it. Her dads gonna have to get a gun.

I'm protective. Sometimes I have to tell myself off and to reign it in. But my kids will always be my babies

I wouldn't if I was you.
