This is as large a movement of human

At first, I went home every weekend with my washing, but then those visits became less regular. How did I let my parents know I was coming? They had no pho
21、ne. Perhaps I wrote to them (“Expect me with dirty shirts this Friday afternoon“), but more likely I didnt let them know, and just turned up or didnt turn up, not understanding that my parents dashed hopes of seeing me were a greater casualty of my carelessness than a spoiled tea. And in all this I

As for our fathers and mothers, none of them talked of “empty-nest syndrome“, even though its implication that the principal human duty is to protect and feed the young would have suited their generation better than ours. Then, the feelings of loss went

The Mayo Clinic, for example, suggests you try to maintain regular contact with your children through “visits, phone calls, emails, texts or video chats“. If you feel depressed, lean on l

Above all, stay positive: “Thinking about the extra time and energy you might have to devote to your marriage or personal interests after your last child leaves home might help you adapt to this major life change.“ be denied, however, is that children often

Previous estimates put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest figures suggest there could now be
