Worry not, this is the beginning of appreciating mum. Coming home for Sunday roast will help the transition for both of you. Good luck-jl

My second daughter married 10 months after the first one married. I sobbed my heart out following them both up the aisles and at that moment I didn't like their husbands one little bit. I know I had to let them go but Oh how it broke my heart. Still, all's well thatt ends well - 6 lovely grandchildren now.

Know how you're feeling.

Dawnie, that is great news that she feels confident enough to do so. I wish them both all the best and hope they can find somewhere nice to live.

YOU will notice your utility bills are cheaper and toilet roll lasts longer, when they bring washing back its worse cause its all in one go, son and girlfriend have just bought one, so i waould say a washine machine is a good house warming present xx

I hope they find just the right place for them. She is so much more confident, these days.

It's a big change for all of you Dawn, but she'll still want to come home for those special treats.
Don't believe that she will take all her belongings though.
Much easier to leave them at Mum and Dad's, rather than clutter the new home!

Two of ours have been gone for a few years now, we dont get chance to miss them, they are always walking through the door with our 5 grandchildren.And the first place they go to is the fridge. Our food bill has never gone down. Lovely that they are close to us though.
