My adjustment to an empty nest was great. I've kids but suddenly I had money leftover and time for myself! It had been a long time since I'd had to deal with that!

When I left for college, my mom changed the door locks and her phone number! A friend of mine in college, finished up the semester a few days earlier than when his parents were supposed to pick him up and got a ride home from another student. He arrived home to find his parents had sold their house and that someone else had already moved in. He was pretty traumatized at first. He didn't have his parent's new phone number. He ended up getting dropped off at an aunt and uncle's house about half an hour away. When they picked him up, his parents had meant to surprise him by taking him to the new, larger house. Keith

Keith Bought the house I'm currently in 30 years ago. Had lived here for 6+ months. Wife heard a car come up drive, heard back door open, and a woman holler, "Mom?" Dog came in with woman. Ours took exception to it. Kitchen dogfight ensued. Woman had no.idea her mom sold the place and moved.
