In class on the 17th we talked about mid life and later life and got me thinking to how my parents are and also my fiance's parents. When we started talking about the empty nest and how parents react when their children go off to school or move to a different state i felt that my fiance was a perfect example of that. When he went to K-state right out of high school, his mom called him non stop to see how he was doing and checking on his grades and anything that you could think of, he said that it got so annoying that he just stopped trying in school. Then he moved back home and just worked and his parents seemed fine with that, which i thought was weird considering you want what is best for your child which is an education. Then him and I started dating and then he moved here from Kansas and started going back to school again and then his mom started doing it all over again. She is getting a little bit better with it now, I just think that it hurts her that her son is not close to her anywhere and now he is 3 hours away. But I am hoping that the exam is not too hard tomorrow and that if you just know the theories and everything that i should be fine. but good luck to everyone! Study hard!
