Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Unexpected sadness

I finished my first master's at 20 after leaving home for university at 17 (so, not very early). I then returned to live at my parents' home while I worked for three years before my husband and I married. While I had always loved my parents deeply, those were the first years that we also bonded as friends. You never know when life will throw pleasant surprises your way!

Same here (for DD10, entering gr. 6). I'm hoping she doesn't change her mind. She also insists that when she buys a house it will be on the same street as our house is. [/quote]

my DD5 is begging for boarding school already, wants attend university in England and then plans to spend the rest of her life doing medical experiments in space. i might be doing this wrong...

at any rate, it's lovely to hear about some kids who want to be near!

So Funny! My ds13 was going to buy the house next door to me from Fred at 5. Whether or not Fred was interested in selling was unimportant. One summer at NW cured him of wanting to live near me. My dd6 still wants to live with me forever! Oh but I have to move into her house according to her

I love these stories. You all are smart and sweet and right. It's not as if ds has actually aged a year.
