It was extremely stressful for me, their moving out.
But being a parent is a job, and getting what you want is not part of the job description. ie your kids are not there to keep you company, for example, which I would have liked. You learn boundaries. Your kids are not your friends either, even though you can be friendly. I have offered my son a scotch (which he accepted) while we watched Game of Thrones together, but I was very aware of almost crossing a line
They come back, and it is delightful when they do.
