Advice, Ass, and Beautiful: But when I hugged my daughter good-bye, and watched her walk
down that city street, away from us, her family, her protectors,
it was like watching her walk straight out of her childhood.
And into the unknown. And suddenly, I was not fine.
fb/l Might Be Funny
My oldest child graduated from high school in June. A big milestone moment for a parent, right? She was accepted to her first choice college, and we were all so happy and everything was just fine.
And then this summer she worked to save money, and we talked about the things she would need for school. We bought new bedding for her dorm. And it was exciting and I was fine.
We bought storage drawers and a mini fridge. We ordered her textbooks online and shipped them to her dorm address. And still, I was fine.
Then yesterday we packed everything into the car, and set off for school. We moved her into a clean, bright, dorm. We had a lovely dinner with her new roommate, and it all should have been fine.
But when I hugged my daughter good-bye and watched her walk down that city street, away from us, her family, her protectors, it was like watching her walk straight out of her childhood. And into the unknown. And suddenly, I was not fine. So now, Iāll write.
Itās like Iāve been hit with the emotional equivalent of a hurricane. I mean, I figured Iād be sad when she left. You canāt spend every single day of 18 years with someone and then not miss them when they move away. Even if your kid is a pain in the ass. Which mine isnāt, by the way, which maybe makes it harder.
And I knew I would feel worry. Because up until now I pretty much knew where my child was at all times. I knew what time she went to bed, what time she woke up, and what she ate for breakfast. Now, overnight, sheās living in a big city and I donāt know when she came home, or if she remembered to bring a jacket. The only word I can think of to describe all of this not-knowing isā¦unsettling.
Along with the worry, strangely, is guilt. Second-guessing everything I ever did as a parent. Did I adequately prepare her for the ārealā world? Did I scare her too much or not enough? Will she really keep the pepper spray in her backpack? Why didnāt I make her take a self-defense class? Does she even know how to mail a package?
Anger. I didnāt expect to feel anger. Yes, I am pissed off at the world right now for not preparing me for this. How many pieces of unsolicited advice do we get in our years of parenting? At every other milestone I felt inundated with information and opinions. People talk endlessly about how hard it is having a newborn, the toddler tantrums, picky eater preschoolers. The middle school yearsā¦mean girls, bullying. High schoolā¦peer pressure, drugs, academic stress. And so on. I mean, you canāt get people to SHUT UP about that stuff.
But when you mention your child is leaving for college, the response has been invariably, āOh, how exciting!ā Well, now that itās happened Iām like, āWait a minute! Why did NOBODY tell me, I mean REALLY tell me, that, THIS, THIS is the milestone that is the absolute HARDEST parenting time of all?ā Not one single person said, āIām so sorry, thatās totally going to suck for you.ā
And of COURSE I am happy for her. And of COURSE I am excited for her. And no, I wouldnāt rather her stay home forever. But none of that mitigates the fact that for me, the mom, it does totally suck right now. So I am telling you now, young parents, because no one actually told me. It sucks. Youāre welcome.
People say, āOh, youāre lucky that her school is close to home,ā which until yesterday, gave me some comfort. But I quickly realized that it doesnāt matter much if sheās not in her bedroom and sheās two hours away or sheās not in her bedroom and sheās ten hours away. Either way, sheās not in her bedroom. Either way, the house is too quiet.
I keep having this vision in my head of my little girl walking away, towards her building, and in this vision Iām fighting back tears and yelling, āWAIT! Turn around! Please, Iām not done yet. I need more timeā¦just a little more time!ā
But my time is up and all I can do is hope that I used it well.
And though my heart is heavy and my emotions are muddled, my head is clear, and I do know the truth of the matter. I may need just a little more timeā¦but she doesnāt. Sheās strong and sheās smart and sheās beautiful and sheās ready.
Sheās all yours, world. Please treat her kindly.

EMISSIONS ROLLBACK
Aug 3 | The Trump administration has

fuel-efficiency and emissions regulations
The Trump administration has proposed a reversal of Obama-era legislation that aims to reduce fuel emissions. The proposed rollback would reverse a 2012 rule requiring automakers to reach an average of 54 miles per gallon on vehicles by the year 2025. States like California may lose the right to set stricter fuel-efficiency regulations. ___ A statement to the Wall Street Journal by US transportation officials Elaine L. Chao and Andrew Wheeler said the rollback would āgive consumers greater access to safer, more affordable vehicles, while continuing to protect the environment.ā __ Photo: Getty

G: STANDUP911
I was a police sergeant in New Holland, OH when I obtained
evidence that my boss (the police chief) and my town mayor
were
engaging in felonious activites. After getting a search
warrant I uncovered concrete proof of their crimes, and
served felony summons' to both of them during a town hall
meeting. I was immediately fired following this event.
I CROSSED THE THIN BLUE LINE
He was fired on the spot! Now he is now filing for whistler blower protection. This is why i say the majority of cops are bad, not trust worthy and they only care about the Blue Lives. Because every cop i know, knows about the corrupt shit taking place behind close doors OR when it blatantly happens in public and nothing is done about. Anytime you remind silent you are siding with the oppressor. We need accountability within police and they need to face even harsher consequences than a criminal on the street. I hope Mick can find justice and hold his boss and the mayor accountable and thank you for doing the right thing. Itās pretty bad when you actually have to give thanks to someone for actually doing their damn job. standup911
