Description:
I am a mom whose 18 year old is moving to another state. How do we cope? Do we change their room into a craft room immediately or leave it as a shrine? :) Write your partner a letter and let her know your thoughts, feelings, and angst during this crazy time. I don't care if it is email but if it is...perhaps send a picture of your child or their room to make it "heart-worthy" otherwise write a letter about your journey.

Im not a mum yet but i was once that person that left home when i was 18 to move away to study. I would be more that willing to share my journey into "adulthood" and what we did to make it a smooth transition,for the whole family!

I would love to hear that! I left at 18, too but now-a-days that seems so young! xxoo Tia

I also want to join, but my daughter is going into her senior year, I guess I have more to learn than to share but I will put my thinking hat on, and perhaps draw from my own experiences way back when...

thanks for this swap, great idea.

also, I would prefer an actual letter in the mail but won't rate you down if you send an email....

Great! I know 18 seems so young,and Im only 23 now,but hopefully my recent experience will give you some insight and help you out! Look forward to sending off my survival kit. Lu xx
