My baby girl is leaving home. While part of me is relieved to have less housework (she does her best but she’s incredibly messy), my stomach is flipping over and I want to lock her in her bedroom … forever.
However, as I prepare to let her go as graciously as I can, I want both to keep her safe and to be excited about the wonderful adult journey she’s about to embark on. I’ve given her some advice based on a lot of experience and research, and it may be useful to another young adult about to spread her wings. So just click on the slideshow below for a little inspiration.
