still have children at home?
I have one still at home. She's 17 and a senior in high school. My other one, went off to college 3 years ago and barely comes home a few weekends a year. She has already moved on to the next phase of her life and is living in sin with her boyfriend (but still in college - yeah!).
My youngest sister had one child only and later in life. She is only 3 years younger than I, but her son just turned 7 in August.

No...no kids at home anymore. I like it, but I don't like it. At times, the freedom is great. At times, I miss them tremendously.

I do. Just one...My daughter, 19, is still living at home. She commutes to the local community college, works, plays volleyball, and has a boyfriend...which is another discussion! :) You never know how to parent the oldest but now she is also an 'only' child for the last nearly four years as my son is 17 and lives with his father.

Well, my daughter and granddaughter live with me, and in the next few days my son will as well. They both hit hard and are returning for a minute.

I have a 21 year old son at home. He is out of work at the moment. But my daughter and three grandchildren live around the corner (literally) so technically they don't live here but they are here a lot. My oldest lives in Portland and remarks that she doesn't get enough attention sometimes.

I have two sons (31 and 33) that are grown and married.One son lives 2 1/2 hours away and the other is 6 blocks away. No grand kids yet and I'm not sure either of them are going to have any kids at this point. I'm divorced so I live alone with my empty nest full of pets.

Yes, my daughter is almost 17, and a jr in highschool. My oldest boys are long gone, 30 and 31. I am preparing myself for the empty nest when she goes off to college, just hope its not too far. Becoming a writer has prepared me for the next stage of life. Georgia

Not full-time. My older son is 22 and graduated college last June and got a great job, however 3,000 miles away. We live in NY, and he is now in San Francisco. I'm happy for him but its hard with him that far. My younger son is a sophomore in college in Boston, so he still comes home for all vacations and summer, although he is constantly with his girlfriend when he is home.
There are pros and cons. There is much less laundry, no worrying about what time they are coming in, don't have to buy or cook food for them. However, the cons are that I miss them. The phone is just not the same.

My two oldest babies, sons, are married with children of their own....lol. They are 33 and 31
My youngest, a daughter, is 13. I am very lucky to have such a great teenager.
The hormonal aspect is interesting. We cover both ends of the spectrum. Let me tell you! That can make for a very interesting household!!
Yes, I was married two times.

I have a 14 year-old son at home and I am 51. As a single mom, I find this age the hardest to deal with. Of course he's a momma's boy as there is no one else in our everday lives.

I have a 17, soon to be 18 and a 21 yo. Still home. The 21 yo had an apt. when he was about 19, about a hour and 10 minutes away while he was attending a tech school, but that lasted 6 months. It was such a cute apt! This also was an indication that the child wasn't ready to be on his own. He came home every weekend and brought the laundry. I had to go down once a week or so and make sure the place was still together. Oh well, live and learn.

I have one 17 year old at home. He is a junior in high school and very active in sports and I don't see him very much at seems but I do enjoy it when he is around, enjoy his games and really enjoy the times we sit and talk...Somewhat rare nowadays. My other three are grown and gone. Joey was the youngest by five years.
