I was dropping my 18 y.o. son off at college this weekend. I started thinking that this baby would be class of 2035 - wow! I usually don't look at things that way. You know - I will be so old when.....My son told me that he will take the little ones to college for me as I will probably be in a nursing home. I told him it was a deal as long as he will pay for them!

I looked around at the other parents and felt somewhat different. It was mostly couples - DH had to stay home with the other children. Plus the cost of the airline tickets meant I almost didn't get to go. Many of the other parents were going to be empty nesters - not something I will experience - at least for a long time!

My son's roommates' moms were in the dorm room helping them make the beds, etc. Fussing over little details. I knew my son would be able to figure out where the laundry was on his own. It was almost entertaining, yet a little sad that these big fellas were so helpless.

huh?

I had a baby this past jan of 2009 - that's class of 2027 or 2028 if she graduates at 18.

Is there a reason you think they would be 27 years old at high school graduation? Even thinking 4 years of college for graduation I get 2031...

Just curious...

But yeah.. some stunning math hit me when I was pregnant with our last baby too.

That is too funny! My brilliant son is the one who said 2035! And yes, we were thinking college graduation. I just trusted him since his SAT score in math was much higher than mine. I think it would be more like 2032! Maybe he was adding in med school or law school since he is paying.
