So I'm at the time of life when the youngest ones will soon be off to college. I've waited 20+ years to return to normal sex life, no more quiet quickies, no more "are they in the shower", nope those days are soon to be over I am less than a yard away from the proverbial empty nest finish line.
Came home early the other day to find my Mother-in-law at the house. After pulling into the garage I sat in my car for a minute wondering what in the hell was she doing here, at this time on a weekday?
After a few deep breaths I came inside and was greeted with the following words from my Mother-in-law. "Well, I've decided to that I am going to move in with you, isn't that great?
Before I could choke up an answer all I could see was that finish line tape slowly moving backwards until it completely vanished from my mind's eye. I hesitantly looked at my wife and with every fiber of my being utter the words, "That's great news".
I just instructed my 2 youngest unwed adult children to not make the same mistake I did. Do not marry an only child, instead marry the youngest of 3 or 4 children to avoid this situation. Ugh!
