Was it only yesterday that your children were little?

This is what i thought when i seen this picture of Dakota Fanning. I couldn't believe how much see has grown up! It does only feel like yesterday that she was such a small child but look at her now. Is this how you feel about your own children? Are you worried about your children going off to college or university. Here are a few tips to help you cope with the feelings you may feel;

1. You will probably have alot more time on your hands so take up a hobby like cycling or even walking.

2. Make the most of your new freedom, go on holiday, do those things you've waited so long for.

3. Blast your old school music as loud as you can, you now have no one saying, 'Turn that old music off!'

4. Teach your children before they go how to wash clothes, cook and clean. This will help you feel alot better that you have passed on your years of knowledge.
