‘I've got nineteen books and those piles of CDs; but what about my 3D printer? And my crochet & Rubik's cubes?’ said the 19-year-old when I asked him what he's packing for university.
Aw I feel for you all Harriet, especially your youngest... I was the 'baby' left behind aged 15 (exact same time-frame as your baby) when my 2 older siblings plus another teenager (similar situation to you) all left home within days of each other, to go study away, one all the way to Devon, the others to Oxford. Different times ahead but plenty of prideful moments to come too, I'm sure, and your youngest gets Mum and Dad all to herself too... hope she makes the most of that ;)
Thanks so much! I love the symmetry with your experience, thank you for sharing. I was the youngest too & also remember, now you mention it, being left behind. I have a feeling she’ll acclimatise to having the top floor (& us) to herself 😂
