Daughter away to uni feel strange

  • You`ve done much better than me. My 2nd daughter went 2 years ago and I spent the first 2 weeks beside myself and would cry each time I walked past her empty room. I wouldn`t mind but I have 4 daughters but she`s the first one to go to uni. I was fine when they all went to school! I hope I cope better when she goes back next week.

  • My daughter came home every weekend. She was in Luton and the accommodation was not what she was used to. She also didn`t enjoy it that much and I had to persuade her to go back. She is doing her final year in London so hopefully she will enjoy that.

    It`s good your daughter is doing so well so far. Student life is supposed to be the best years of their life, I enjoyed my student nurse days.

    I`m sure once the novelty wears off she`ll remember her poor old mum!
