Well, I have survived!

 

My precious, precious baby comes home for a few well placed days over the Bank Holiday weekend.. mainly for a family party etc. Ok, I am yet to know what she has planned for the summer as yet.. but I am not hyper-ventilating.. :eek:

 

I have done it! I let her go! Year 2 is a reality and she has achieved SO many distinctions this year that I could just burst. :) The girl is in line for a 1st!

 

This is the child who didnt do any Clubs for longer than a few weeks.. ever. Didnt even really go OUT of the house because she was really emo and listened to too much Muse.

 

Anyone else having their precious baby home soon from Uni?

 

I am just proud beyond proud. :):laugh::)

 

Take care,

Eve xx

Thanks Cherry..

 

Just thinking about what to make her for dinner.

 

.. Perfect timing to as 'The Eurovision Song Contest' and 'Britains Got Talent' are on tonight. Gosh those programmes are SO terrible that they have to be viewed! Bless her, she sent a text asking for 'Eurovision' to be recorded just in case she gets delayed!

 

:laugh:

 

Anyhow, have a fab Bank Holiday weekend people. Hope your kids, whether they are small or big behave themselves and you get to do something good together, whether it costs money or is free.. :)

 

Take care,

How in the hell are Muse emo? He is singing about ALIENS. :p

 

Apart from that, it's very sweet to see a mum proud of her daughter and excited to see her home. :love: You've done a good job with her. :)

Mine's been home from university for a month! And just this weekend is finally getting a job (to pay for her car and insurance). I finally blew up and yelled at her this week because her whole dorm is still sitting around downstairs where she dropped it, after a month...:rolleyes:

 

But I'm proud of her, too. It was harder on my husband to let her go. He would have driven to see her every weekend if I'd let him!

 

And all year, I kept asking her to get out and join in on the school activities and she didn't - just studied (and got very good grades). But she now says that this coming year, she'll follow my advice and get out there and start having fun in school and making friends. Plus, her best friend is transferring to her school because she spent the whole year partying and barely passed so her parents moved her so my daughter would be a good influence on her; but she'll now have her best friend there, so things are looking up. I'm so excited for her!

CE, yeah I simply adore her! :love: .. but think that listening to too much 'Muse' could actually cause mood disorders!!! They can be a bit bleak.. :eek:

 

Turnera, the employment issue can be a sore subject between myself and my daughter but I think we have finally come to an understanding. If theres one thing she is careful with its her cash and right now she is in a good position and so claims to want to work so that she can have some savings ..

 

H'mmm... we will see..

 

Seriously, you have to be one step ahead of these kids otherwise they run all over you because they know that you love them!!

 

Anyhow, glad that your girl is going to have a friend at Uni. I bet her friends parent have been sweating blood. Although my daughter has some traits of being quite introverted she seems to have fallen in with a good crowd so we havent had to worry about her in that regard. One of her new Uni friends has just dropped out for the second year in a row because she didnt 'feel' the course was right.. yeah, more like too much alcohol. :p

 

.. but I am glad to be having my daughter home for a few days and just hope that she really does have some solid plans for her summer.

 

Take care,

Eve xx

Good for you mom! That's wonderful! Letting your baby go.. so bittersweet! I'm going to be an emotional wreck when that time comes for my daughter. She just graduated Kindergarten, but before I know it she'll be going away to college, and I'll be crying my eyes out. ((Hugs)) to you Eve! :)

The hardest thing I've ever done is drive away from my daughter's dorm last August after we moved her in. I knew I'd be upset but had no idea how much it would affect me!

Stop it Mister!

 

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

 

No, she is going back to London to a shared house instead of a Campus environment (at a saving of nearly £300 per month) because.. she wants to have a cat! The family cat died two years ago and she is ready now for another furry ball of love to care for..

 

My oldest girl finds relationships tedious at the best of times and has decided she is better off with her friends and a cat. Not even 21 years old and she has little time for nonsense relationships!!! I dont know what I did to deserve her.. :love:

 

She is an old soul.. :love: as long she has close friends around/access to parties, stimulating study, discussion and an Ipod full of Doris Day, Jim Reeves, Motown and a range of other seemingly odd music for her age.. she is happy.

 

:)

 

Well no more worrying about having to sort her accommodation or travelling arrangements out for her.. thats good I suppose.. :)

 

Take care,

Eve xx

 

P.s I am glad I was truthful to her about my youth. I was pregnant at 16 with her but dont regret one single moment. She was meant to be! .. but it certainly wasnt easy..

Letting go is harder than .. gosh, its just SO hard... but necessary!

 

I am just so proud of her. :love:

 

She still says that she know nothing about life etc and panics sometimes but manages to get on, even with her obsession with buying 'Marks and Spencer' food/fruit, which can be difficult to maintain when you are a student. Previously she had no idea how much things cost and so living away from home has been very 'interesting' for her.

 

Just love your daughter Southernsunshine.. not love for an outcome necessarily but love because she is precious. Children are the true mystics of this world ..:love: You are blessed to have her presence and unconditional love with you.

 

Hugs to you.. :)

 

Take care,

It wont be your sperm though, I am sure, within any worst case scenario..

But, to her, once mama is gone, the party is on! :p

Actually, no it wasn't. She had a boyfriend back home. She doesn't drink. She doesn't even drink soft drinks. I had to push her to go to the school's events. She just wanted to make sure she made good grades.

 

I don't know your background, cinnamon, but you do tend to assume a lot about people; and a lot of that, negatively. Most likely based on your own story. It may help you, in the long run, to recognize that there are a lot of people out there who don't look at the world the same way you do.

Wow, what day is today? Let's pick on Cinnamon day? :mad:

Sorry, but your posts were negative, assuming the worst, and pretty much going against the mentality of this thread - which was a celebration of a child making it through the first year of school. All your posts were about how our children were lying to us, partying and getting wasted, or screwing around. Not all kids grow up that way.

I feel that your apology is not sincerely because of the "but" and the crap that follows after that. :confused:

You're right. I didn't mean to really apologize. I still believe you are approaching everyone with a negative vibe. Thus my responses.

The picture I posted was just a general pic. I think choosing pets to be something which just happens and whatever colour it turns out to be wont be the main thing, it will be the pets personality that leads the decision. :)

 

Still, I think the yellow and white ones are equally adorable.

 

I am all excited now!

Cinnamon, remember that you are entitled to your opinion, negative or not. I'm sorry that you feel picked on. This is supposed to be a supportive community and sometimes people don't remember that.

 

Eve, you are also guilty of making negative assumptions about people. You incorrectly assumed several negative things about me, just because I said I did not want to become a mother. You need to practice what you preach or you run the risk of looking like a hypocrite.

 

Glad that your child is coming home and that you are happy. I hope you have a good time.:)

Blacklovely, please keep on topic at very least. I dont mind whether you are a mother or not - this is not what this thread is about. Trying to take sides with another in this instance is childish and does highlight the points I raised about the delivery of the former thread you are referring to.

 

Anyhow, I will leave you to work out how I am a hypocrite by being happy for my daughter.. :laugh::)

 

Of course I realise that troubled people come to LS but please, if you dont like me, just block me. Thats what I do.. works a treat!

 

But back of girl. I have no interest in you.

 

Take care,

:D I'll be sure to "back of" when I find out what that means.

 

I'm well aware that the thread is not about whether or not to have children. I was merely responding to a comment that you made about not making incorrect assumptions about people. That's all.

 

If you able to comprehend what I posted Eve, you would know that I did not say that you were a hypocrite for being happy about your daughter. I said you were a hypocrite for jumping on someone who made negative and incorrect assumptions, when you do the same thing.

 

I don't know what you're so angry about, but please don't take it out on me. I distinctly remember saying that I was glad you were happy about your daughter coming home and wishing you a good time. You may want to stop lashing out at people when they are being polite; it makes you look very irrational.

 

Backing "of" now...:lmao:...I love when illiterate people try to talk down to me; it's so funny.

Actually, BL, I think you made a mistake by assuming, incorrectly, that it was Eve who made the comment about assumptions. Actually it was I who said it, in response to cinnamon's multiple comments about our children being one beat away from pregnancy, drugs, or alcohol. :)

 

Eve, update: DD19 woke me up in tears a couple nights ago. Turns out her best friend, the one who was transferring to DD19's school, and rooming with her, decided against it. For some reason, her dad decided she couldn't have her car if she transfers to DD19's school - but she can KEEP it if she stays in the party school back in Louisiana! That makes lots of sense! So bf decided she'd be stranded with boring old DD19 and no parties to go to (she's not legal to drink here in Texas) - and she can't make it without her parties. :mad:

 

The worst thing is that she was too chicken to just tell DD19 she changed her mind - so she just went on FACEBOOK and changed her status and removed all her comments about the new school! And DD19 found out by reading the girl's FB page! :(

Blacklovely, you will find my posts littered with spelling mistakes. Dont know, my spelling has never been brilliant but I have done ok in life.

 

I can agree to disagree with both yourself and Cinnamon. I think my point was clear enough and you have made yours.

 

:)

That doesnt make much sense at all.. :eek: Maybe he is worried about her being tempted to drive whilst under the influence away from home because of her partying habits?

 

My daughter goes back tomorrow to get ready to move into a shared house. Apparently its really nice. Looking forward to seeing it for myself in the next few days..

 

:)

 

Take care
