Coming home last night, longest drive ever. Waking up to empty bedroom, could be longest day...
Her little brother took it hardest. I think for me (so far) the anticipation was harder. Any suggestions for the first care package of truly meant to spoil her non essential filled boxed?
Awwww, I feel for your DS. DD was 10 when her Brother left for college - her 10th B-Day was Freshman dorm move in day.Son is 11. The night before, when it was time for bed, he wouldn't stop hugging her, and he cried about 20 minutes. Everything was fine yesterday up to the last half hour. Then it was holding her hand, hugs, tears, and sobbing when the car door shut. I cried more for him than for myself.
The roommate was already moved in when we got there. So dd didn't get choice of anything. (Like which bunk, which dresser, which closet..etc) we thought it would have been nice if she had waited but what can you do? Funny thing was the girls name wasn't even on the door! So the RA didn't know who her roommate was!
The hardest thing for us parents was she lost her live in entertainer and so the first few months were filled with more slumber parties, sleep overs and excursions. She eventually settled into being an "only child". She did enjoy no longer having to share the bathroom!
