Not sure I am cut out for this empty nest thing.  The kids are leaving because they don't like being at home or spending time with us.  I try to think of things that we can do together but everything gets shot down if it is not entertaining.  I can't compete with households that have access to lake houses, rivers, beaches.  I guess I did not create a home.  Failure in the most important job I have ever done.  Nothing else matters.
