Gillian, that shows what a good job you have done, that he is confident enough to move out and presumably move in with his girlfriend. As long as he knows how to cook, clean and wash clothes so he can help her out, or be willing to learn, he will be fine and I am sure you must like the girl or he would have gone sooner! She won't look after him the way you did, but she will care for him and show him different ways to do things perhaps, all broadening his horizons and teaching him to be a partner and maybe in the future a father too. Make the most of the extra time you will have to relax and maybe embrace new things for yourself as well. He will be back to visit, as you know if we love our children we have to learn to let them go, and this one won't be too far away I am sure.

Good luck to him and his young lady, and to you too

Ah...but will he take all his clutter?
Mine live in minimalist houses because loads of their stuff is still here!

I hope the young couple will be happy.

Don't do alterations too hastily - remember there is a reason they are called the Boomerang Generation - lol

You've done your job well - now the time is right to set him free and let him fly the nest. You haven't lost a son, you've gained a daughter.

That's gratitude Gillian - 24 years you have nurtured him and there he is - off with the first woman he sees. Get your own back do not let him root in the attic, kitchen cupboards, linen cupboards and Dad's shed before he goes! Rent his room out so he can't come back!!!!!!!

Yes, he is 24, but I have cared for him for 24 years, and after just three months with his girl friend, he is moving outxxxxxx
