I only have one child. She was out of the house right after high school. She attended college far away and now lives far, she is married. She lives too far for me to see her often enough. Emotionally it is tough. I remember one Christmas before she was married she came home for few weeks then I took her to airport and then came home. I stood in the middle of her bedroom. She was gone. She was here few hours ago and now it was empty. Honestly I have never experienced feeling like that. Nothing could compare.
But life goes on. I never feel I don't have enough things to do. I work and have social life, there are a lot of others empty nesters out there!
Now some couples actually do better when kids are gone. My parents don't have the best of marriage. But they started doing lots of things when me and my bro left the house. They travelled and went out and met other couples. Etc
