Just started to help my son pack up some boxes of stuff for Uni, and started blubbing like a fool

Lucky for him hes gone off to a party tonight, but Im bloody hopeless.

He goes Sunday, and its bound to be worse then

Dont know if its worse coz Im a single mum and he's my only son (have 2 teenage girls too)

I know it's a big wrench LMS, but I'm sure you'll get used to it. At least you can see him. My son is off to Afghanistan in the new year. Every time he goes on a tour, I feel wretched. This time will be the worse.

Awwww LMS

, you're obviously going to miss him and will take time to adjust for a little while but I bet he's so excited, it's like an exciting time ahead in his life to make new friends, study hard and partying so best of luck

LMS its the next stage of their life, I know its hard to let go, but we have to be happy for them

p.s. You should be well proud too, he's a clever lad and obviously you have brought him up right to be independant. Go You

Don't get a grip, it's how mothers feel. It's horrible seeing the kids leave, but look forward to Christmas when he's home and you can spoil him to bits. (and probably have half a ton of dirty washing)

haha! Told her to add you. Most of the boys at School slate her all the time about her obsession. There are only a handful that Like JLS, so when I said about you liking them, she went, ooh a boy JLS fan!! I said, dont think you could call him a "fan" but yes, he thinks JLS are good! Gawd knows what is on her fb comments at the mo; Her and her mates have seen the video for their new song and the boys are all over these girls in it, which has not gone down at all well

SO funny! She was calling these girls allsorts, lol

Gonna have to tape it and watch it when we get back. Dont think we'll be back in time. OR I could watch it in the student bar!!!!!

(They had the footie on when we went round the place last time, so they defo get sky etc)OMG could you imagine it? His first day there and me in the bar, screaming W*!&*!! at the screen for 90 minutes

Its bloody horrible LMS.... I was distraught for a week before my daughter left.... I broke down at her school (and had to be dragged into Matrons office to sort myself out).... I sobbed all the way home. I was heartbroken for the following 48 hours....

The thing that sorted me out a bit was when she finally phoned all happy.. and I knew she was ok.

She's been down there a week and a half now (but came home last weekend... this will be the first weekend without her).... its hard... but she's texting all the time.... and we keep in touch on LiveCloud!

The week leading up to her leaving was horrid... perm lump in throat (til it ached)... tears behind eyes.... sobbed some nights after she'd gone to bed.

Awww. I have all this to come, part of me wants my babies to fly and live a happy and independent life, but the major part of me wants to put the umbilical cords back on.

That'll be me. Defo lump in the throat tonight; my voice went all funny too. Gonna have to remember to take some tissues with me; Dont wanna look a sight with mascara running down my face,lol

One of my friends; she cried for 2 weeks when her daughter went!! Hope Im not that bad

Im coming off the forum now as my daughter wants to get on facebook. Think I will go and watch how clean is your house and tell myself that at least I will be able to set foot in his room which I call "beirut" and give it a damn good clean and tidy up!

LMS - my son went to uni last year, I thought I would be hysterical, but when I saw his house and his lovely flatmates I was sooooo happy and excited for him. My husband expected me to cry all the way home, but it was him that got teary

My middle one goes next week and I am so excited for her now

Yeah... mine is my soulmate too.... she's just been on the phone actually... telling me all the ins and outs of her school (she's boarding at a boys school... 6th form... only 16!!)....

She calls me a delinquent if I get drunk!

It was afew years ago now that my to went to Uni ...............they left within a week of each other and I felt bereft ............I was quite emotional (when i left them) but didn't let them see it. The thing is .......they had the time of their lives .......I really, really missed them though. it's hard adjusting when the babies fly the nest.

They left in the sept/Oct and then my little grandson came along (from my oldest son) - it's kinda like starting all over.

In the words of Harry Chapin 'all My Lifes A Circle'.

I'll be thinking of you on Sunday, LMS - I have until the following Sunday till mine "flies the nest"!! It's his birthday today so he's out with friends - who are all leaving before him, mostly this w/e.
Like you, I can't wait to get into his room and sort it out!!
