The days of combing out tangles and wiping chubby cheeks often seem like they will be here forever. Before you know it, your children will be leaving the nest and off to start a home of their own. All moms and dads have trouble saying goodbye. While your kids are preparing for this major milestone in their lives, you can also set about charting your next course of action. This will help you cope with the trauma of saying goodbye to your children.<br /> <br /> Your perception of this stage in your life will affect the way you handle the transition. It is important for you to understand that your children?s departure does not mean that they are deserting you. Despite the fact that your kids are no longer with you, your duties as a parent will never be deemed finished. You will still be a parent to your kids for the rest of their lives, even after they have left home. Basically, the major variance in this stage of your life is that your kids are not as reliant on you as they were when they were little. As your kids grow older, it is only right that their autonomy and individual personalities grows as well. As long as you are willing to offer guidance and emotional support to your kids, remembering that they are no longer kids, you can continue your relationship on a new footing as friends.<br /> <br /> Though the empty nest may leave you feeling low, this is the perfect opportunity to bring back the romance in your marriage. Generally when the kids come into the picture, most spouses do not find much time for each other. At the very least, spontaneity is hindered by the responsibilities of parenthood. However, with the kids now out of the picture, you can go back to being newlyweds, taking off for an impromptu dinner date, going for a long romantic drive, or simply spending the night talking to each other, rediscovering the joy of just being together. This is the perfect opportunity to rediscover your love for your spouse who has been a companion for you over all the exciting, busy years of child-rearing. Strengthen the bonds of friendship you have with your spouse or even rediscover your romantic side.<br /> <br /> If you are not married, raising children can make it difficult to make new friends. Now you can take this opportunity to meet new people, rekindle old friendships, and carve out a new social life for yourself.<br /> <br /> It?s hard to fulfill your adult fantasy of travelling around the world or launching a potentially risky home business when you have children to care for. You can pursue what you have always wanted to do.<br /> <br /> Although you might not see it immediately, the departure of your children, as painful as the experience might be, provides you with something that you lacked until now, time. There is no limit to the things that you can accomplish, be it pursuing higher education, starting a charity, or spending time in artistic pursuits such as painting.<br /> <br /> Before you make any big decisions that will tip your world upside-down, you should take a few weeks or months to get used to your new life. Of course, you are free to contact your children. They'll probably be having a hard time adjusting to their new lives, too. There is plenty of time to pursue new hobbies and adventures after both you and your children have grown accustomed to the living situation. Remember to take time and enjoy the years ahead. You prepared your child for life. Job well done! Now it?s time for you to have a different kind of fun.</div> GuidoStotts444
