Ah – the waiting up thing. My curfew was always obnoxiously early, so my parents didn’t have much difficulty staying up until then. Also – in Hippie Child’s defense, some technology is just very difficult to use (like potentially dishwashers) – my dad bought a new tv while I was away at school and I went home and was watching tv and I TRIED to raise the volume…. the whole tv turned to the right. Fail.

It’s a mother’s job to worry. Thank goodness you weren’t born a man. 🙂 So much to look forward to in the years to come… even if it involved more worrying. I love Lisa Mitchell – she was a contestant once on Australian Idol years ago. She was too alternative and cool to win that comp! Beautiful voice. xx

My girl turned 18 not long ago and I totally get where you are coming from.I get a sick feeling in my stomach when I know she is out on the roads at night.I think it is because we see so much horror car incidents on tv these days.Is frightening.
I miss the days of her childhood where I could protect her and she was baby girl,yet I know she needs to go out in the world and make her own life.
Being a mum is so very hard and though we mums say how difficult it is when our kiddies are young I dont think it gets easier as they get older it just gets different.Every stage has its own challenges.We never stop worrying about them no matter how old they are.
Big understanding hugs xx

I remember those days with my son. Now he’s 27 and I still freak out when I don’t know what he’s doing and forget driving, forget on the highway, forget getting any sleep, forget peace of mind. I’m still trying to learn how to deal with being a mom. Dads? Another story. 🙂
