I know I have three children and my daughter starts headstart in two weeks and it's scaring the hell out of me. They'll get over it once they see the amazing daughter they raised can handle things on her own without their help.

They're still paying for everything at this point and this is only for the school year, so I'm not truly "independent" quite yet. Gonna work on that though, try and find a job, and at least start paying for my own food. Hopefully you're right, though. I guess it's to be expected since I went home so often my first two years of school. Hopefully they'll mellow down a bit once they see that I'm alright when I'm away from them.
One problem is that they ask me why I want to get away from them. I say that it's because that's what kids are supposed to do when they grow up, then they ask why I want it so badly and why I want it right now. What am I supposed to say to that?
