Sending your children off the school is difficult enough as is — but it’s especially hard when it’s your youngest child and everyone else has already moved out of your home. It’s not surprising that this would leave you and your spouse feeling sad that you know longer have kids running around, but you don’t have to feel that way! There are plenty of ways to avoid empty-nest syndrome after your little ones fly away.
Find Things You Like Doing
While some couples’ interests stay the same over the years, many don’t. Take some time to find out what you both like doing, and enjoy each other’s company within those activities. Whether it be hiking, cooking, museum trips, etc., the possibilities are endless.
Get Your Finances in Order
Getting your financial matters straightened out means you’ll be in better shape to handle your kids leaving. Finances problems can put a big strain on your relationship, which is the last thing you’ll want in a time like that. Figure out what debts and assets you have, and go forward with that in mind.
Make New Friends
When you have kids, you and your spouse’s lives seem to revolve around them. Once they’ve moved out, make new friends through work, social activities, or even online. Hanging out with new friends will help keep you occupied and help you avoid empty-nest syndrome.
You don’t have to feel dejected just because your kids don’t live with you anymore — just focus on the exciting future to come.
