Coming Home from University

[JtB]

In about 5 minutes I'm off to pickup JtB junior who's just finished his university degree and is returning home to live. After all these years of study, its finally time to find a job - a life changing moment for all of us I guess.

Well done him, now the hard bit starts

Good stuff! Now help him find his own place to live.

I don't have children (child-FREE) but the misses has three, the youngest of whom is a student and spends 6 weeks in the summer with us and does sweet FA. Clothes, food, books, magazines ALL OVER THE PLACE - not good for my OCD. And she leaves ALL the lights on ALL the time, here when it's the middle of summer and light until very late. And breathe...

Anyway, I'm sure you'll manage easily having your son back .

Congrats. The house dynamics will change but it will be all good. Don't forget to get him on a bike and throw in the pub if it is a tad difficult

Mrs FF and younger daughter have gone to extract eldest daughter from University life today.... she has her first internship in London on Monday ....
The girl done good :-)

Good luck to all those awaiting results, and leaving education. Good luck young JtB.

Congratulations to him, and to your daughter, @Fab Foodie.

Congratulations, that's your nights of walking round in the nud over with again

JtB junior's understanding of my instruction to make sure everything is cleaned and packed so that when Mrs JtB and I arrive, all we need to do is "load and go" could not be further from what I actually had in mind :-(.

We currently have eldest daughter home for the summer, a long, long summer!
She insists she's a guest but I'm sure I didn't invite her, and she's close to outstaying her welcome!
Hope junior jtb finds a job soon.

Isn't the average age that children leave home these days heading into the late 20s ? A good thing you're too old to have a life

Been there before!

Our eldest is moving houses on Wednesday. They have to be out of one at the same time as they get the keys to the next. They think they are going to manage to walk everything there. I can't get out of work to help either! I foresee a nightmare! Additional problem was they accepted a work shift for the entire day, luckily they have managed to get a half day.

My son gets the keys to his house share for next term on Wednesday. Remains to be seen how much he will want to move there and how much he'll be bringing back with him at the end of the week.

Just collected eldest from end of 1st year and dropped her off at her grandparents house where she will be staying for the summer; so it looks like she's not coming back to us. Might get round to making the temporary "music room" which was her bedroom a bit more permanent

I bet it's already soundproofed, eh!

Nah, headphones. No need to inflict it on anyone else.
