SUMMARY:
It happens quickly, doesn't it. The 18 years you've had with your children. You've been involved in their activities, learned to love their friends, and even made life-long friends with those parents. And then, it happens. Your life changes, seemingly in an instant.
Staying in touch changes. Completely. You have to make more of an effort to touch base with and keep up with not only your child, but the friends you've made through them.
Normally we discuss money, legal matters, taxes and more. Our mission is to facilitate more knowledge that just typically isn't covered for we parents with almost-flown and just-flown kids.
But today, we thought we'd give you a great idea on how to stay in touch with people that through the years you've grown to like and love. You aren't seeing them anymore.
These very challenges are happening to us, too.
Here is an fun idea worth considering that allows you to do all three: touch base with your "just-flown" child, their friends, and those parents that you've sat near at a football game, survived a parent-teaching event, and more.
Ok, ignore the name. This is fun, we promise.
Additional Thoughts:
We have fun at these events and are sure that you can, too. We'd love to hear about yours if you choose to do this. So take a photo and send it to us or post in the comments below.
This is a great way to stay in touch, catch up, and hear all about the new things happening in everyone's life. It's a win-win all the way around.
The minute your child gets their "care package" from you (and by extension, the parents of their friends), they get excited! Odds are, they will pick up the phone and actually phone you. Hey, there are times when settling for a "thanks Mom" text is an amazing occurrence. Either way, you've made your "just-flown" child a very happy individual!
Have fun everyone and as we say at JellyGeneration:
You CAN Have Success in the Middle of it ALL
