The other day my son Dallen who is 9 said that when he gets older he wants to
clear some land in our back acreage and build a house on our property to live
in. The thought of that is nice. That my son would be that close. But we
have never really bought into the concept of moving our at 18 or 21.

It was very touching,

My 14 year old son says he is never leaving home. His plan is to stay here,
design computer games and sell them online. He never even has to leave the
house!

I hope all those people who think we're wierd isolationists with totally
unsocialised kids don't hear about this......lol.

Well, my 11yo son wants to leave home when he grows up, but he wants to live next door...

My 10yo is leaving home to get married when he is 18, my 8yo says he might leave when he's 32 and my 5yo daughter says (very matter of factly) that she is going to leave home when I'm dead! <g>

My kids were talking about this in the car.

5 yo: Mommy, remember when you said that me could live with you
forever instead of getting my own house when?

Me: Yes?

5 year old: Well, me might miss you if me lived in my own house
without you.

Me: Well, you can do whatever you want to do.

7 year old: Luke, I don't know yet what I'm going to do. There's no
use trying to decide what to do now, because by the time we're old we
might change our minds.

5 year old: Oh yeah! Maybe me just don't know what me is going to
do yet. (He doesn't seem to like the word "I"--lol?)

My 11 year old stayed quiet during the discussion, but she has told
me that if she gets married she would like to live with us. I told
her maybe we could put some plumbing and heat in the 2nd floor of our
garage, which isn't connected to the house, and she and her husband
can live there and come to the house when they need the kitchen. She
loved that idea! lol I wonder if her future husband will like that
idea. ;)

That was sweet.

Holly says she will live next door and whenever her baby needs a diaper
change, she'll bring her over for me to do it. I said "okay."

I'm hoping she'll change her mind, but I didn't say so. Let her have that
comfort for a while. <g>
