Last night, my husband and I were sipping wine and watching our favorite show. Teens come home, upstairs screaming at each other for an hour as they did schoolwork (!!!!), then one was loudly wailing. Door being pounded on, shouting. I usually head up to break things up but found myself motionless, told my husband to go deal with it and just sat rooted on the couch for hours even after things quieted. I've been worried about missing them when they head off to college but maybe it won't be as hard. The end of your post reminded me of the times I traveled with just him. When you have 4,5 personalities together things can get dicey at times. Before kids, he and I used to go to WDW all the time and have the best time. I had been wondering if we could even go back without them.
