I'm really nervous about parenting an "only" child. I've had such a gaggle of kids for so long, with girlfriends and neighborhood kids always around, that it feels so empty to just have one home. He has entered the "stay in my room" stage, so he isn't even underfoot much. Unless of course he has all 18 buddies over here all over the place. :)
I guess family dynamics are not static but ever changing. I keep wondering if I can remain as consistent and strict as I was when there were lots of eyes watching.
And Mel, I could use the peace. I just hate the quiet.
