1) Less laundry on a daily basis. (Face it -- kids will still come home from college with weeks of laundry. But, YOU don't have to do it!! :)
2) Lower grocery bills.... unless you are kind and provide your child with "care packages". :)
3) No more rushing home to cook dinner, attend a ball game, or taxi the kids to one of their activities. Yes, you CAN work late... or you can just take the long way home. Either way, it means less stress and demands on your time.
4) Your children will likely appreciate you more than ever before.
5) Less dishes.... Less home clutter.... No more shoes and backpacks in the doorway.... beds that are made every morning....
6) No more cooking. Face it, cooking is a CHORE - not an art or hobby. Now you can just make a sandwich or bowl of soup at night without feeling guilty.
7) Naked Saturdays. We told our children to call before they come visit, because every Saturday would be "Naked Saturday". Our kids call out of fear... I'll let you wonder whether or not my husband and I actually walk around naked every weekend. :)
8) More time with your spouse. (See "naked Saturday" above and imagine what every day can be like...)
9) You can leave your dishes in the sink without feeling guilty. How many times did I nag my kids to pick up after themselves?? Now, I can slack off without anyone pointing their finger at me!
10) Freedom to rediscover yourself. Find your interests, hobbies, and friends again.
