So my oldest daughter officially moved out of the house today. My first reaction was this is so great and we have only one more to go. When we got married we had a goal in mind to have kids early and have them out of the house by the time we were 50 . Looks like that will happen.
I am confused because she moved in with her boyfriend. He is a good guy and think they will get engaged but their not married yet and living with each other. Most of you will probably say that's just how it is now a days but I still don't like it.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
In this day and age, in order for anyone to get out on their own, they have to live with someone. It's extremely difficult for anyone starting out to make it on their own.
And remember one thing about family. You don't have to like what they do, but they are family, so you have to accept their decisions. Right or wrong.
Not a help, I know.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

regardless, I feel for you man. my daughter just turned 18...
As as long as he treats her right and she's happy and safe, that's all that matters to me. I understand you might be coming from a spiritual point of view though.
Do do you like IPA?
Maturity and emotional well-adjustment are two of the best indicators of relationship success, go figure. They are in the mix with financial compatibility and security as tops. Religious commitment can be powerful, but can also be abused to keep people in unsafe/manipulative relationships as much as it can get people through simple rough patches of life.
In the end, you raised 'em right, yeah? This might be a mistake, but hopefully they've learned to learn from those, because they'll make more. And you're that much closer to having both out! My youngest just finished 6th grade and I'm 39. That empty nest-ish stage might start at 45 for me!
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
Thanks James but I don't drink or smoke any longer.
