Francis, you should be the person you were before you had the kids. You are a blessing to them, and they are a blessing to you, but don't lose who you are in your kids because when they grow up, you will not know what to do with yourself... Talking as a parent to kids in their thirties who have grown up and moved away, and I was independent and happy as I wanted them to be maybe too much so as I don't see them very much now

Wait until they got older and don’t need you it’s so hard but we did good

It’s like a bitter sweet moment isn’t it … torn between missing them so much but enjoying the break 🥰🥰🥰🥰

❤️This reminds me of me so much! Whenever my kids stayed out, usually at my parents house, I'd go upstairs and just sit in each of their rooms and cry! Xx
